Answer

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

Answer

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.
