Go back and read the entire scenario.

R1 on 1st, R1 leaves the base on the pitch, B2 Pops up to F3 who ends up standing over the base to make the catch, effectively blocking R1 from returning to the base unless she dives or slides back.

Here is a contradiction. How can R1 be blocked if there is an exception? To me, this is saying that R1 CAN return to the base if she dives or slides back.
To start, there is no way anyone can be standing over a base and block access from all sides, so let's assume Tom means F3 is blocking access from the direction of 2B. That means some other side of the base must be available, even more so if a double-base is in use. Hence, the answer to the question is to "go around" the fielder and access the base from another angle.
