I ________, and I didn't mean what I ____.
- A.
  
  Was angry, said
- B.
  
  Angry, was say
- C.
  
  Was angry, was said
Correct Answer
A. Was angry, said

Explanation
since "angry" is an adjective, we need a "to be" (look at EPT Week 1 if you forget what it is)
"was angry" is the correct answer which makes the sentence grammatically correct.

"I said" is the correct form.
The expression "I was say" is incorrect since the to be "was" is not needed.
"I was said" is an illogical expression in this case.
