Verb Tenses for Making Definitions
Hello,
I'm trying to make a definition of some terminologies. Could you please tell me which verb is correct in each of the following?
clerk awardee - one whose submitted reports (get, got)___ the highest accuracy rating.
dried goods - items that (go, went)___ through the process of drying.
Is it also possible to use have got and have gone above, respectively?
Thank you.

Thanks, English 1b3, for your answers and explanations.
Why is the simple past tense (get and go) not possible?

English 1b3 clerk awardee--one whose submitted reports has got the highest accuracy rating.I think this should be have got instead, because the verb refers to the 'reports', not to the word 'one'. Don't you

Reports is plural, so it requires 'have' not 'has.'
The reports have got...
The report has got...
One has got...
They have got...
The reports have got...
The report has got...
One has got...
They have got...

You used "has got" in your post, not "have got" for the word "reports". That is what I've just clarified.
