Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. stride.

Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options:-

  1. run- to move using your legs, going faster than a walk.
  2. stride- to walk with long steps, often because you feel very confident or determined.
  3. walk- to move or go somewhere by putting one foot in front of the other on the ground, but without running.
  4. wing- one of the two parts that a bird, insect, etc. uses for flying.

'Stride' which means 'to walk with long steps' fits the context appropriately.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
