Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option " corpse."
It is the most appropriate and specific term to use in this context. It refers to the body of a deceased human. "Corpse" is commonly used in such situations to describe a dead human body.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Carcass : It typically refers to the body of a dead animal, especially when used in the context of hunting or wildlife.
- Copse : It refers to a small group of trees or a thicket and does not relate to the context of discovering a human body.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "The police found a corpse in the forest".
