Correct Answer: preening its plumage and became motionless
Solution : The first option is the correct choice.
This sentence discusses a past event, so the past tense verb became is more appropriate than the present tense becomes. Also, its is the possessive form of it, while it's is a contraction of it is or it has. In this context, we're talking about the bird's plumage (a possessive context), so its is correct.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The unit twitched like a bird, preening its plumage, and became motionless."
