Q043 Blake ____ the school's record for swallowing worms, but he couldn't choke down #87. The right choice is ... would of broke would of broken would have broke would have broken Two problems: Instead of the preposition of, you need the auxiliary verb have. Instead of broke (simple past), you need broken (the past participle). Of is a preposition. It cannot help form a verb. You need have, the auxiliary (helping) verb. Broke is, unfortunately, the simple past, a 1-part verb. You need broken, the past participle, since this verb has 3 parts. Well done! This choice is correctly formed.
