The correct answer is letter A (lamented). This is so because the blank comes immediately after the subject of the sentence, which means that a verb is needed to define the action or state.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Read these lines spoken by Mercutio in Act III, Scene 1 after Tybalt stabs him and answer the question.
No, ‘tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church-door; but ‘tis enough, ‘twill serve: ask for me to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man.
Of what are these lines an example?
A. allusion
B. pun
C. monologue
D. soliloquy
Answer:
These lines are an example of a:
B. pun
Explanation:
A pun is a joke that can use words that sound similar but have different meanings, or words that offer more than one possible meaning. When Mercutio says, "and you shall find me a grave man," he is making a pun out of the meanings of "grave". A grave man is a serious man, at least in most situations. In this case, he refers to grave as in "tomb", because he is about to die after being injured by Tybalt.
Looking back, my life has not been what I always want it to be. After a heart-breaking divorce, I went on a path of self destruction. I started drinking heavily and using drugs as a way to numb the pain. Finally I had a wake up call. As I got in to some legal trouble. It opened my eyes to all the things I may have lost if I continued living my life that way. I then decided to turn my life around and go back to school. I obtained my P.H.D. and then have since found a new wife and job.
