How to approach this kind of question
When a sentence joins two actions, both actions should have the same form. Find the first action and note its form: a past tense verb, an -ing word or a to form. Then try each choice in the blank and read the whole sentence aloud. Check that the joining word fits and that the second action matches the first. Also check that the sentence still means what the writer intends.
