The first blank requires 'will' for future intent ('will never forget'), while the second blank needs the simple past 'told' because the action of telling has already occurred. The combination 'will, told' correctly captures this temporal sequence.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The simple past tense 'died' is correct for describing an event that occurred at a specific time in the past ('last night'). 'Die' is present tense, 'dead' is an adjective, and 'was dying' would mean the dying process was ongoing.
