Correct Answer: grew
Solution : The correct choice to fill in the blank is the third option .
Grew is the past tense of grow and correctly fits into the sentence, which helps convey the intended meaning, which is that the room gradually went dark along with the night. Other options are not grammatically suitable for this sentence and, hence, should be avoided.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Night came on and the room
grew
dark."
