Solution : The correct option is the second option.

The most appropriate synonym for anticipated in this context is predicted. Anticipated and predicted both imply expecting or foreseeing something before it occurs. In this sentence, the team was able to foresee or predict the next move of their opponent.

  • Suspected: This means having a belief or notion that something might be true or likely.
  • Dreaded: This refers to a feeling of fear or apprehension about something expected to happen, often with a negative connotation.
