|-------|------------|
| forget | forgotten |
Explanation
The sentence uses reported speech with past tense ("had hidden"), so the verb must follow with the past participle. "Had forget" is grammatically incorrect; the correct form is had forgotten (past perfect). Examiners look for identification of the exact error word and the grammatically correct replacement.
