Choose the correct alternative and click the button corresponding to it. In case no improvement is needed, click the option corresponding to 'No improvement'. The thief bailed upon his accomplice when the police caught them. Correct Answer Bailed out on his accomplice

The sentence uses the phrase 'bailed out on' which means 'to abandon someone or leave someone behind'. The correct format of the phrase is 'to bail out on someone' and in the sentence, the accomplice is that person. Thus the sentence indicates that the thief betrayed his accomplice and left him behind when the police caught them. Option (1) is incorrect because the preposition 'under' does not fit the context. Also, option (3) is incorrect because it does not have a preposition following the verb 'bailed'.

The correct sentence is, 'The thief bailed out on his accomplice when the police caught them'. Hence the correct answer is option 2.
