Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. involved in stealing.

  • In the original sentence, the phrase "indulged in burglary" is used to describe the son's illegal activity.
  • However, the verb "indulged" is typically used in a positive sense, referring to someone enjoying or giving in to something.
  • The verb "involved" is commonly used with negative actions, especially when referring to criminal activities.
  • "Stealing" is a general term that includes burglary (breaking into a place to steal), making it appropriate.
