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.
