Take a look at the sentence again:
After losing electricity during a hurricane, the Martinez family ___________
candles, speared hot dogs on pencils, and roasted the wieners over this
makeshift barbecue.
The sentence requires the past tense of light, an irregular verb. Lit is one of two simple past forms.
| Verb | Simple Present | Simple Past | Past Participle |
| light | light(s) | lit or lighted | lit or lighted |
Lited, the form you chose, is a spelling error. Before you continue, review the rules for irregular verbs.
