Answer Details

The best option to complete the sentence is "restrained". "Restrained" means to prevent someone from doing something, usually by using physical strength. In the sentence, the speaker was able to hold one of the boys back, while the speaker's friend was able to prevent the other boy from fighting by restraining him. The other options, "subdued", "coaxed", and "captured", do not accurately reflect the action of preventing someone from fighting.
