**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)'.
