Question : Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
The police were on high alert on account of the _____ convict who had killed many people.
Option 1: run after
Option 2: walk away
Option 3: eloped
Option 4: runaway
Correct Answer: runaway
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Runaway is the most suitable choice, suggesting a dangerous individual who has escaped.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Run after is not a suitable collocation in this context; it does not convey the idea of a dangerous convict.
- Walk away is the opposite in meaning and doesn't fit the context of a dangerous convict.
- Eloped means to run away secretly, usually with a romantic partner and is not appropriate for a dangerous convict.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The police were on high alert on account of the runaway convict who had killed many people.
