Gabarito: C
Fundamento decisivo: O trecho exige particípios passados após "had" e simple past em "she ___ back". Assim, a sequência compatível é heard / got / left / lent / thought, o que confirma a alternativa C.
- Verifique primeiro a estrutura sintática: depois de "had", procure particípio passado.
- Quando a lacuna não estiver sob "had" e narrar ação concluída, confira se o contexto pede simple past.
- Em verbos irregulares, não aceite formas regularizadas por analogia sem confirmar a forma correta.
- Não avalie os verbos isoladamente; compare a forma verbal com a posição exata dela na frase.
