as patrick walked home, the rain stopped and the sun made the wet sidewalk glisten. soon the sun broke through the clouds completely. the sidewalk began to shine so brightly that patrick wished he had his sunglasses on.
amaze
sparkle
freeze

Explanation:

The text mentions the sun makes the wet sidewalk glisten and then says the sidewalk began to shine. "Sparkle" is a synonym for shine in this context. "Amaze" (to surprise) and "freeze" (to become ice - like) do not fit the context of something reflecting light.

Answer:

sparkle
