The sentences are joined by the conjunction 'and'. The first verb used is 'fell', which is in simple past tense.

So, the second verb from the blank must also reflect this. So, the other verb must also be in simple past tense. So, 'awoke' becomes the correct option here.

Base Form (Infinitive): Awake

Past Simple: Awoke

Past Participle: Awoken

3rd Person Singular: Awakes

Present Participle/Gerund: Awaking

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.
