If two past tenses in a word is wrong then, is "I got placed in a company" correct? Please tell me.

Drown is used where when we are talking about living bodies. Drown means someone is suffocating underwater and dies.

As a living bodies cannot sink same as a non-living bodies cannot drown.

So, I thing "C" is the correct option.

Can it be "got drown into the Pacific Ocean"?

Anmol said:   8 years ago
Could it be "sank into " instead of the use of in?

Habib said:   8 years ago
The boat sank, 15 passengers drowned. So sank used for object and drown used for suffocating any person.

No need to use two verbs, got, drowned both second verbs so never exist.
