Correct Answer: Reading

Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option "reading".

"Reading'' fits perfectly in the sentence indicating that Karen is engaged in the activity of reading a newspaper while sitting at the table.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

"Writing'' means the act of composing something on paper, which is incorrect in this context.
' 'Fidgeting'' means to make small, restless movements.
''Looking'' means to direct one's gaze towards something.

Therefore, the complete sentence is "Karen sat at the table reading a newspaper".
