Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence is: surrendered himself before the police

Explanation: This option is the correct improvement because "surrendered himself before the police" conveys the idea that the notorious criminal voluntarily gave up and presented themselves to the police, which accurately captures the intended meaning. It emphasizes the act of surrendering and cooperating with the authorities.

submitted to the police

  • While "submitted to the police" is a valid improvement and conveys the idea of voluntary surrender, it might not be the most commonly used or idiomatic phrase in this context. It can be a bit formal, and "surrendered" or "gave himself up" may be more commonly used expressions.

gave himself up for the police

  • "Gave himself up for the police" is a valid improvement that emphasizes the act of surrendering and cooperating with the authorities. However, it may be considered slightly less idiomatic than "surrendered himself before the police." It conveys a similar idea but uses a different phrasing that may be less commonly used in everyday language.
