Correct Answer: away


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

In the context of the sentence, away is the right choice to indicate that the elephant physically distanced itself from the herd. Away implies that the baby elephant moved in a direction away from the herd. It effectively communicates that the elephant separated from the group, creating a visual image of the elephant wandering off or straying from the collective unit of the herd.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: One of the baby elephants broke away from the herd and lost its way.
