Answer 1

The correct option is A Looked

In this sentence we would understand the usage of verb in different tense forms. The tense here represents the verb in past, present or future thus they are in different form but have the same meaning.

Option A is a simple past tense, refers to an event or situation which happened once and is now finished

Option B is a simple present tense, talks about something that exists or happens regularly

Option C is a continuous past tense, used to talk about actions that continue for a period of time which has happened in the past

Option D is a past perfect continuous tense,used to talk about something which continued up to a particular moment in the past but is now completed

This whole paragraph is in past tense form and an event has been stated which has happened in the past

Option A is correct.
