Resolução comentada
Verbo no Simple Past para completar a lacuna.
A narrativa está no passado ('attacked', 'was followed'). A lacuna pede o passado simples de 'begin', que é 'began'.
Análise das alternativas
A (begins) está no presente. C (begun) é particípio e exigiria auxiliar. D (begin) é a forma base, incompatível com o passado da narrativa.
Referência: Simple Past de verbos irregulares (begin – began – begun).
