Yesterday the dog ________ in the middle of the driveway so that so that no car could leave the yard.Group of answer choiceslaylaidliedlain

The correct answer is "lay". The sentence should read: "Yesterday the dog lay in the middle of the driveway so that no car could leave the yard."

Here's why:

The verb in question is "to lie," which means to recline or rest on a surface. Its past tense is "lay." So, if the action happened yesterday, we need to use the past tense.

The other options "laid," "lied," and "lain" are incorrect in this context. "Laid" is the past tense of "to lay," which means to put something down in a flat position, and it requires an object. "Lied" is the past tense of "to lie," which means to not tell the truth. "Lain" is the past participle of "to lie," and would need an auxiliary verb (has, have, had) to be used correctly.
