Correct Answer: and went afar
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The term afar means a great distance away, and it is not suitable for this construction. The correct preposition to use with went in this context is for. In this sentence, for expresses the purpose or intended result of the action, specifying that the purpose of Daniel's movement is to have a ride.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Daniels sat on his new bike and went for a ride.
