Help Chef Gordon review his disastrous weekend catering events by choosing the correct phrases to complete his rant.

"I spent five hours roasting a turkey, but it turned out everyone at the party was vegetarian. I needn't have cooked that massive bird! Luckily, the hosts told me well in advance that they were providing their own beverages, so I didn't need to buy any expensive wine for the guests."

"I spent five hours roasting a turkey, but it turned out everyone at the party was vegetarian. I needn't have cooked that massive bird!"

We use needn't have + past participle when an action was performed in the past, but it turned out to be completely unnecessary (a waste of time or effort). Since Chef Gordon already spent five hours roasting the turkey, he "needn't have cooked" it.

"Luckily, the hosts told me well in advance that they were providing their own beverages, so I didn't need to buy any expensive wine for the guests."

We use didn't need to + base verb when an action was unnecessary, and because the speaker knew this, they did not perform the action. Since the hosts warned him in advance, he avoided buying the wine.
