The police promised to look into the matter carefully.
Correct answer: B. Investigate
- A. Overlook
- B. Investigate
- C. Search
- D. Explain
Explanation
The correct answer is Investigate, as it aligns perfectly with the phrase 'look into,' which implies a careful examination of the matter at hand. The police's promise indicates that they will thoroughly analyze or inquire about the situation. Option Overlook is incorrect because it means to miss or ignore something, which is contrary to the intent of the police's action. Option Search does not fit because it implies a physical effort to find something rather than a detailed inquiry. Lastly, option Explain is also incorrect, as it refers to clarifying a situation rather than examining it.
