Question 1 Report

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences:
After interrogation, the police.....the information from the suspect
Answer Details
The best word that completes the sentence is "obtained". This is because "obtained" means to acquire, get, or receive something, usually by effort or request. In this sentence, the police interrogated the suspect with the aim of acquiring information, so "obtained" is the most appropriate word. The other options are not as suitable as they do not clearly convey the idea of acquiring information through interrogation, for example, "wrung" means to twist and compress something to extract liquid, which is not relevant to the context of the sentence.
