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 kite _______ very high in the sky and almost disappeared at times.
The sentences are joint sentences, joined with the conjunction 'and'. The second sentence uses the verb 'disappeared', which is in simple past tense. So, the verb in the blank must also reflect the same.
The only verb that can make a meaningful sentence is 'flew'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.
