got fixed

Show Answer
Correct Answer

got it fixed

Solution

The correct option is "got it fixed".

This question tests the use of the causative structure in English.
When we arrange for someone else to do a service for us (in this case, having a mechanic in the garage repair the car), we use the causative structure:
have/get + object + past participle.

Let's break down the sentence structure:
1. Subject + Verb: "he got"
2. Object: "it" (referring to the car)
3. Past Participle: "fixed" (the action done to the car)

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "He did not manage to fix the car himself, so he got it fixed in the garage."
