took could be used by the person answering

“I took it out because…”

took is the past tense of take.. therefore you could use it in a sentence such as that but In a different way..

“Who took the plug from the socket?”

“Someone took the plug from the socket.”

“You took that plug from the socket.”

Consider it a rule not to use “took” and “did” right next to each other. Did is only used in front of words that are present verbs. Example

I did run.

I did jump.

I did fly.

If you use words in the past tense, take out did…

I ran

I jumped

I flew

I took the plug from its socket

or, ” What route did you take that took so long?”

Sorry I can’t explain the grammatical clauses tenses and cases if I could I’d be doing better at foreign languages.

For a question it would be “Why did you take the plug out…?”

(The past tense interrogative is:did+pronoun/noun+ present tense simple of the verb: Did you go?; Did you study?; Did she write?; Did it eat?; Did he sleep? Did they run? Did Mary visit her friends last month?; Yes she did, she visited them. Is it a bit clear now? I hope so…) Take good care!
