Answer 1

The correct answer is 'walked'.

Key Points

The verb "walked" is the simple past tense form of the verb "walk."
The sentence describes an action that occurred in the past ("When I was a child"), so the past tense "walked" is required.
Options 1, 3, and 4 are grammatically incorrect in this context.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Complete Sentence: "When I was a child, I walked to school every day instead of going by cycle."

Additional Information

Option 1: "have walked" is incorrect because it suggests a present perfect tense which is not suitable here.
Option 3: "have been walking" is incorrect; it suggests a present perfect continuous tense which is not suitable here.
Option 4: "had walked" is incorrect because it suggests a past perfect tense which is not needed here.
