Correct Answer: When he saw the bear


Solution : The correct answer is the first option.

While is used to indicate a period of time during which an action takes place, which is incorrect. The sentence should thus start with "when he saw the bear " to describe the subsequent actions in a logical sequence, depicting the reaction followed by his sighting of the bear.

So, the correct sentence is: " When he saw the bear , he ran to the nearest tree, dropped his gun, and climbed to a safe place."
