Explanation

The correct answer is B. wanted. This answer is correct because it fits logically with the sentence structure and meaning.

Explanation

The correct answer is C. kept. The sentence suggests that the stones were continuously running down and pushing the lad to the ground, indicating that they were not stopping or ceasing their movement. The verb "kept" accurately conveys this idea of continuous action.

9. 3. The bird was magical that it ... a golden egg

Explanation

Explanation

The word "wished" suggests that Dharigra had a desire or hope to encounter a gigantic man on the way to the jungle. This implies that Dharigra did not actually meet or lose the man, nor did he keep or march with him. Therefore, "wished" is the most appropriate answer in this context.
