joe: i havent made a decision yet about what im going to study at college.
betty: really? i thought you _________ you wanted to study genetics.
said
talked
told
discussed

Explanation:

• "said" is the past tense of "say", which is used to report what someone has spoken. In this context, Betty is referring to what Joe had previously stated.
• "talked" is usually followed by "about" and emphasizes the act of having a conversation.
• "told" requires an object (e.g., "told me").
• "discussed" means to talk about something with others, which doesn't fit the context here as it's about a single statement.
