The past tense of "bury" is "buried".

Step 3: Find past tense of "say"

2. Which word best fills in the blank?

"Cats were useful pets to have aboard pirate ships because they rid the ships of rats." The word "useful" fits as cats helped by getting rid of rats, so they were helpful (useful), while "unusual" doesn't relate to the reason given.

In a movie title, the first word and all major words (nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs) are capitalized. So the correct capitalization is "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales". So we circle "P" in "pirates", "C" in "caribbean", "D" in "dead", "M" in "men", "T" in "tell", "N" in "no", "T" in "tales".
