Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence.
My friend vanished when the goons came to fight with me.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. disappeared when the thugs arrived.
The word "vanished" means to disappear suddenly and completely.The most suitable replacement is "disappeared," which also means to leave suddenly and not be present.
The other options don't fit the context: "mobilized" implies preparing for action, "condemned" means expressing disapproval, and "attacked" suggests aggression, all of which do not convey the idea of disappearing.
Thus, "disappeared" is the best choice for maintaining the original meaning of the sentence.
