Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is C. escape, arrested.
The word “escape” means to get away from someone or something that is trying to capture or harm you. The word “arrested” means to be taken into custody by the police. In this sentence, the man had managed to escape from the police several times, but was finally arrested.
The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
- Deceive, cheated: The man was not trying to deceive the police, he was trying to escape from them.
- Defend, acquitted: The man was not on trial, he was trying to escape from the police.
- Cheat, robbed: The man was not cheating or robbing the police, he was trying to escape from them.
- Abscond, kidnapped: The man was not absconding (running away), he was trying to escape from the police. The man was also not kidnapped, he was trying to escape from the police.
