In the following question, the sentence given with blank to be filled in with an appropriate word. Select the correct alternative out of the four and indicate it by selecting the appropriate option.
The Rat fell down the hole and _______ at the sewage treatment plant.
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.
