"The little girl bawled as the irate man shouted imprecations". We choose the first option. This is because of the hint word which is shouted which is due to the word shouted. We select bawled which also means the noise and cry loudly.
This is because when a person shouts and gives bad prayers then obviously other person will cry or also shout. Leading this on blasphemy everyone shouts. The sentence is satisfied by choosing vocabulary words as bawled and imprecations.
