Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option.
While "ran away" is a valid expression that means to escape on foot, fled is a more concise and appropriate verb in this context when describing how the thieves escaped. It is a synonym for ran away, but is often used to convey a sense of urgency or a quick escape.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The thieves fled in a black car."
