Answer 1

She __raced________ along the platform and ____jumped______ through the doors just as the train was pulling out of the station.

Step-by-step explanation:

raced and jumped

Answer 2

She raced along the platform and jumped through the doors just as the train was pulling out of the station.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence shows that the woman was in a hurry, as she managed to get into the train "just as the train was pulling out of the station". So, using the word pairs of "went, walked', "moved, entered" or "hopped, passed" are incorrect as they don't represent the rush of the action. Thus, the correct word pairs for the sentence to be completed are "raced' and "jumped".

She raced along the platform and jumped through the doors just as the train was pulling out of the station.
