Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (1), (2), and (3) that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (4).
Seeing no way to escape, the thief suited to the inspector.
(1) shooted
(2) surrendered
(3) supplied
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the second option " surrendered".
The verb "surrender" means "to give yourself up to the enemy or the authorities". It is the most common and natural-sounding way to say that the thief gave himself up to the inspector.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- "Shooted" is not a standard English word. The correct past tense of "shoot" is "shot".
- "Supplied" means to provide something, like goods or services.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "Seeing no way to escape, the thief surrendered to the inspector".
