Explanation:

- The passage describes a scene where a greedy man returns home and is greeted by his daughter.

- The blank (4) requires a preposition that fits naturally with the action of the man as he interacts with his daughter.

- Option 1, "down": Correct. The phrase "bent down" is commonly used to describe the action of leaning or stooping lower, which makes sense when someone is about to scoop up a child.

- Option 2, "through": This doesn't fit well with "bent," as "bent through" is not a coherent phrase in this context.

- Option 3, "along": This is also incorrect, as "bent along" is not normally used for physical movements towards an object or person.

- Option 4, "up": "Bent up" is not used in standard English to describe a motion toward someone or something.
