Correct Answer: reappeared


Solution : The third option is correct.

The term reappeared implies that the boy was briefly out of sight while inside the house and then came back into view or returned shortly thereafter. This choice of word conveys a sense of movement—going into the house—and then subsequently being visible again.

The meanings of other words are as follows:

  • Worried : This means to feel anxious, troubled, or concerned.
  • Moved : This means to change position or location.
  • Played : This refers to someone who is engaged in recreation or amusement.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be, "The little boy ran into the house and reappeared shortly".
