Correct Answer:
B. went
Explanation:
The correct answer is went because negative sentences in the simple past tense require a bare infinitive verb following the auxiliary verb.
- Step 1 (Grammatical Rule): When using the past auxiliary verb 'did' (or 'did not'), the past tense aspect is already established. Therefore, the main verb that follows must return to its base form (infinitive without 'to').
- Step 2 (Correction): The simple past form 'went' creates a double-past-tense error. It must be replaced with the base form 'go', making the correct sentence: 'She did not go there.'
- Incorrect Options:
- did not is incorrect because it is the correct negative past auxiliary helper used for singular and plural subjects alike.
- there is incorrect because it is an appropriate adverb of place to complete the clause.
- No error is incorrect because pairing a past tense verb directly with 'did not' is an explicit grammatical flaw.
