Question

when i was fifteen, i asked my mom if i could go visit my cousin, who lived across the country. “if you can wol up enough babysitting money to pay for half of the plane ticket, i will let you go,” she replied. i wol thrilled!
fill in the blanks in order.
○ save . . . was
○ save . . . am
○ saved . . . was
○ saved . . . am

Explanation:

1. The first blank follows the modal verb "can," which requires the base form of a verb, so "save" is correct.
2. The entire narrative is set in the past (evidenced by "was fifteen," "asked," "replied"), so the second blank needs the past tense of "be," which is "was."

Answer:

save . . . . was
