- The passage describes a past event, indicated by the past tense ("came out," "passed," "waved"). Thus, the correct verb form for the blank should also be in the past tense to maintain consistency.
- Option 1: "shouted" is in the past tense, making it the correct choice for a passage that is written in the past tense.
- Option 2: "shout" is in the present tense, which does not fit the context as it describes an action happening now.
- Option 3: "shouts" is in the present tense, which also does not match the past narrative of the passage.
- Option 4: "shouting" is present participle, which can indicate a continuous action but is not fit in the structure of this sentence where a simple past tense verb is needed.
Correct Answer: Option 1, shouted
