• A. exert
• B. pillage
• C. exacerbate
• D. extricate

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

extricate

Option D is the correct answer because “extricate” means to free someone or something from a constraint or Duty, which is correct here because the carriage was freed after 2 hours.

Option A is incorrect because “to exert” means to to apply, usually pressure is exerted, which causes the extrication.

Option B is incorrect because “pillage “ means robbing using violence especially during war time, which is incorrect here.

Option C is incorrect because “exacerbate” means to make things worse, hence it is incorrect.
