Two of the fugitives managed to remain free by adeptly avoiding the____________ of the police.

Question

Accepted Answer

The sentence talks about fugitives avoiding something related to the police. 'Following' is too vague and does not fit well. 'Repression' refers to suppression or control, which is not the direct action here. 'Discovery' means being found out, which is close but not the best fit. 'Pursuit' means the act of chasing or following someone, which fits perfectly as the police would be pursuing the fugitives. Hence, 'pursuit' is the most appropriate word to fill the blank.
