answer explanation:
<p><span>The correct answer is </span><strong style="">(C) soared</strong><span>.</span><br></p>
<p>In this sentence, we are talking about an action that happened in the past, so we need to use the past tense of the verb "soar." The verb "soar" means to rise rapidly and dramatically. Therefore, the correct form is "soared."</p>
<p>The other options are incorrect:</p>
<p>(A) "soar" is the base form of the verb and does not match the past tense needed in the sentence.</p>
<p>(B) "soaring" is the present participle form of the verb and does not match the past tense needed in the sentence.</p>
<p>(D) "to soar" is an infinitive form of the verb and does not match the past tense needed in the sentence.</p>
