Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
I _______ out of the bed when I heard a noise in the room.

  1. A
    sprang
  2. B
    rose
  3. C
    skipped
  4. D
    took

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The context describes a sudden, quick reaction to hearing a noise.
Sprang (past tense of spring) means to move rapidly or suddenly upward or forward, which fits perfectly here ("sprang out of bed").

Rose means to stand up or get up, but it lacks the element of suddenness implied by hearing an alarming noise.

Skipped and took do not contextually fit the expression.
