Explanation:

- The passage describes a series of events that happened in the past.

- The subject, “his daughter,” meets him after he gets home, an action that should match the past tense sequence of events.

- Option 1: "rushing" - This present participle is incorrect as it suggests an ongoing action, not fitting the past tense narrative.

- Option 2: "has rushed" - This present perfect tense implies an action completed in the recent past but impacting the present, which isn’t suitable here.

- Option 3: "rushed" - This simple past tense fits perfectly, aligning with the passage’s past tense.

- Option 4: "was rush" - Grammatically incorrect and represents neither past tense nor ongoing action properly.
