He did not manage to fix the car himself, so he _______ in the garage.

  • A.got it fixed
  • B.getting it fixed
  • C.gets fixed
  • D.got fixed

Answer: A

The blank takes got it fixed.

The sentence needs the causative pattern get + object + past participle, which says that someone else did the work: since he could not fix the car himself, he got it fixed by a mechanic. The past tense matches 'did not manage' in the first clause.

'Getting it fixed' is not a finite verb and cannot complete the clause after 'he'. 'Gets fixed' is in the present tense and drops the object 'it'. 'Got fixed' leaves out the object as well, so it would mean that he himself was repaired in the garage.
