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".
