Undecided questions
Is it correct? Thanks!

I need to complete the brackets (( )) with one of the following words:

creep, plod, trip, stumble, hobble, limb, stagger, totter, glance, peep, glare, gaze, glimse.

1-It was such a low tunnel that we had to (( crawl )) on our hands and knees.
2-We got completely lost on our walk and had to (( )) through lots of wet, muddy fields.
3- I got home after midnight and slowly (( plod )) upstairs so I wouldn't disturb anyone.
4-Despite ((tripping)) slightly after the first fence, the horse quickly recovered and won the race.
5- My mother is extremely prone to accidents and is always ((stumbling)) over things.

    Hola, María, numero uno, cuatro, y cinco están bien. Numero dos y tres, diría usar:

    2-We got completely lost on our walk and had to ((STUMBLE )) through lots of wet, muddy fields.
    3- I got home after midnight and slowly ((CREPT)) upstairs so I wouldn't disturb anyone.

    I feel sorry for you because these questions aren't written very well. A lot of these sentences could be completed with more than one option.

    creep, plod, trip, stumble, hobble, limb, stagger, totter,

    1- crawl
    2 - plod (I think!) but stagger is a possibility. I don't like 'stumble' here because that means to lose your balance and that's not necessarily related to mud.
    3 - crept (past of creep) -- this means to walk so that people can't hear you
    4 - stumbling -- tripping and staggering are also possible
    5 - tripping -- stumbling is also possible
