Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
Clue: The underlined part has two problems: wrong verb form after 'all I did was' AND the non-word 'sended'.
Rule: After 'all I did was', use the BARE INFINITIVE (no 'to').
Answer: Option 2 - 'create a link and send it'.
| Option | Problem |
|---|---|
| to create...and sent it | mixes infinitive with past tense |
| create a link and send it | correct - parallel bare infinitives |
| created...and sent it | wrong tense after 'all I did WAS' |
| creating...and sending it | gerunds possible but the standard pattern here is the bare infinitive |
Tip: Test by substitution. 'All I did was (verb)' takes the same verb form as 'I did (verb)'.
