Which option completes the sequence: thought; prayed; designed?

• A. thought; prayed; designed
• B. careful; prayerful; planned
• C. thoughtful; prayed; designed
• D. thought; prayed; plan

Answer: (A)

This item tests recognizing a simple repeating sequence of past-tense verbs. The given terms—thought, prayed, designed—form a consistent set in the same order. The natural continuation keeps exactly those three words in the same order, preserving the established pattern, so repeating them completes the sequence cleanly. Other options alter the pattern by changing word forms or parts of speech: for example, thoughtful or thoughtful-like forms shift from past-tense verbs to adjectives; designed could become planned, which changes the base verb form; plan changes tense and function; and adjectives like careful or prayerful break the verb sequence. The continuation that stays identical to the original three terms maintains the pattern best.
