Got drawned is incorrect, only got drawn or drawned can be used.

Correct me, if I'm wrong.

How can one know that the drowned thing is a living or non living thing from the sentence?

Tenzin wangda said:   7 years ago
Instead of in, into is more suitable, as the drowning is the verb that expresses movement.

In the above sentence they haven't specified the object is living or non living thing.

Ayush said:   1 decade ago
Drowned is used to indicate living beings where as sank is used for non-living beings.

Two finite verbs cannot be just posed in the same form. I think it's "gets" not "got".

If something is not alive or doesn't breathe air, it cannot drown, but it can sink.

We cannot use double past tense in the same sentence. Hence option C is in error

Mamta said:   6 years ago
Use of past perfect tense dosent make sense here. So we are using "simple past".
