Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (D) two / too

Explanation

The first blank quantifies hours, so it needs the number “two”. The second blank modifies “tired” in the construction “too tired to walk”, where “too” means excessively. Hence “two / too”, option D. The identical pronunciation does not make the two spellings interchangeable.
