Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. turned his head toward her.
The bracketed part of the sentence is grammatically incorrect.
The other verb in the sentence is in past tense so the correct form of the in the bracketed part will be "turned".
Against means in opposition to something.
Toward means in the direction of.
Thus, "turned his head toward her" is the most appropriate option to replace the bracketed part.
The correct sentence would be: At last Godfrey turned his head toward her, and their eyes met, dwelling in that meeting without any movement on either side.
