Looking for the proper word in a sentence about exams

Question

I'm trying to find the proper word, but there are a lot of options and I don't know which one fits best.

I studied this material last night and it ___ on the exam.

I'm thinking of the below words, but I'm not sure which to choose. Or are none of them correct?

• appeared

• came out

• showed up

• arose

Answer 1

All of them could be used, but I believe the most natural way to write the sentence would be:

• I studied this material last night and it was on the exam.
