1. I _______ up at 8 am yesterday. (wake)

Explanation

The correct answer is "woke" because it is the past tense form of the verb "wake." In the given sentence, the action of waking up occurred in the past, so the past tense form of the verb is needed. "Wake" is the base form of the verb, "awake" is an adjective, and "none of the above" is not a valid option as it does not provide a suitable verb form.
