spend

- Option 1: spent

- This is the correct choice. "Spent" is the simple past tense of "spend," fitting well with the past tense of "discovered" in the sentence.

- Correct Answer

- Option 2: spending

- This is the present participle and does not match the tense used. It suggests a continuous action, which doesn't align with the sentence structure.

- Option 3: spends

- This is in the present tense. It would be a mismatch with the past tense "discovered."

- Option 4: spend

- This is the base form, also known as the infinitive. It does not fit the past tense in the sentence.
