Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the second option " jolted to a halt".
"Jolt" means to move with sudden, unsteady movements, and the phrase "jolted to a halt" means to come to a stop after sudden, unsteady and uncontrollable movements. This is the appropriate phrase to convey the intended meaning that the car made unsteady movements and came to a halt after a tyre was busted.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "The car with a burst tyre jolted to a halt ."
