D) I will have made a fresh batch in the morning.

Answer 1

Hint: The simple past tense is used to describe a completed process that happened in the past. It started in the past and ended in the past, to put it another way. For example, Lisa baked a cake. One basic past tense rule is to apply ed to most verbs.

Complete answer:
The present tense is used to provide more information about an action (its time, completeness, etc.).
The simple past tense, also known as the preterite, is used to describe a completed event that occurred in the past. The action may take place in the near past or in the distant past, and the length of the action is unimportant.

Now, let us look at the given options:
Option A. I made a fresh batch in the morning: This is the correct option since the given sentence uses the simple future tense, and we must substitute 'will make' with 'made' to convert the sentence to the simple past tense (past participle).
Option B. I had made a fresh batch in the morning: This answer is incorrect because ‘had made’ indicates the past perfect tense and we have to use simple past tense.
Option C. I make a fresh batch in the morning: This answer is incorrect because ‘make’ indicates simple present tense and we have to use simple past tense.
Option D. I will have made a fresh batch in the morning: This answer is incorrect because ‘will have made’ indicates future perfect tense and we have to use simple past tense.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: Tense is a category in grammar that expresses time reference. The use of specific forms of verbs, especially in their conjugation patterns, is generally how tenses are expressed. The past, present, and future are the three primary tenses used in many languages.
