Correct Answer: taking


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

The context indicates that the action is related to the office-goers and their interaction with the metro. The verb taking is appropriate because it aligns with the common usage of taking public transportation, like the metro.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Fasting refers to abstaining from food.
  • Running means functioning or operating, such as in a train service.
  • Adapting refers to adjusting to new conditions.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Officials said thousands of office-goers were taking the metro, and the trains were running full during peak hours."
