Correct Answer: before


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

  • Stood before refers to the act of standing while facing someone, which fits perfectly in the sentence.
  • The option stood for means to support a cause, which is inappropriate in the context of the sentence. The options stood to and stood towards are wrong.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "He stood before Ankita but could not utter a single word for quite some time."
