burst

Correct Answer: burst

Explanation

When his car tyre burst on the way, he did not know what to do. Although bursted is not a word in English, some writers erroneously use it as a past tense or past participle for burst. As mentioned above, burst is itself the past tense form of this verb, making bursted unnecessary and incorrect.
