Question

    In the following sentence, there is a blank space. Below

    each such sentence, there are five options with one word each. Fill up the blank with the word that makes the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. The suspect tried to __________ capture by fleeing the country before the authorities could issue an arrest warrant.
    A embrace Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B endure Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C evade Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D enforce Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E exclude Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence contextually implies that the suspect was trying to avoid being captured. The word "evade" means to escape or avoid, fitting perfectly in the sentence.
    Embrace means to accept willingly.
    Endure means to tolerate or bear.
    Enforce means to apply rules or laws.
    Exclude means to keep out, which doesn’t fit logically.
    Therefore, "evade" is the most appropriate option.
