Correct Answer: pause, paws


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The homophones pause and paws are the correct words to fill in the blanks. Pause means to take a small break, and paws means an animal's (dog, in this context) foot.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: The dog took a pause during his walk and lifted his paws to indicate that he was tired.
