I was barely half way home when darkness....

Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "set in." "Set in" means to begin and to become established or fixed. In this sentence, the speaker is saying that darkness began to set in while they were only halfway home. The other options do not convey the same meaning as "set in." "Set out" means to start a journey or task, which is not relevant to the context of the sentence. "Set up" means to establish or create something, which is not relevant to the context of the sentence. "Set off" means to start a journey or to cause something to start, which is not relevant to the context of the sentence.
