sold

fetched

bought

threw

- The sentence talks about what women in a village did with water before they had taps.

- Option 1: sold – This doesn’t fit; selling water from common wells or hand pumps is not typical.

- Option 2: fetched – Fetching means to collect or bring water from a source, which makes perfect sense here.

- Option 3: bought – Buying water from common wells or pumps doesn't fit the usual context of village life.

- Option 4: threw – Throwing water is unrelated and makes no sense in this context.

The best word is fetched, because it means to go and collect water, which is what women did before taps were available.
