Explanation:

- The passage describes a scenario where Shiela and her friends are on their way to a park.

- The sentence in question describes Shiela’s action as she tries to remove an object stuck to her shoe.

- The verb needed here should convey an action of moving closer to the ground to remove something.

- Option 1: "bind" - This verb means to tie or fasten something, not relevant here.

- Option 2: "bend" - The base form of the verb that means to curve the body down, not in past tense, which is needed.

- Option 3: "went" - Past tense of "go", not suitable for this context.

- Option 4: "bent" - Correct choice. It is the past tense of "bend", fitting the context of the sentence as it implies Shiela moved her body downward.
