on the beach gogol collects rocks, digs tunnels in the sand. he and his father wander barefoot, their pant legs rolled halfway up their calves. he watches his father raise a kite within minutes into the wind, so high that gogol must tip his head back in order to see, a rippling speck against the sky.

a vary
b disagree
c walk
d expand

Explanation:

The word "wander" in the context of "He and his father wander barefoot" implies a kind of walking. "Vary" means to change, "disagree" is about having different opinions, and "expand" means to make larger. None of these fit as well as "walk" in the described beach - walking scenario.

Answer:

C. Walk
