The correct answer is 'came'.
 
Key Points
  • The passage indicates that the motor-cyclist initially left after getting directions from the policeman.
  • The appropriate word to fill in the blank should describe the action of returning after a period of time.
  • The word "came" fits best in the context as it describes the motor-cyclist returning to the policeman.
  • Other options (reached, went, wanted) do not accurately describe the action of returning in this context.
