Fill in the blank with the appropriate option.
Police refused to ________ the identity of the suspect.
Answer Options:

The correct answer is Option B (divulge).

Key Points:
• This question assesses vocabulary context, specifically choosing the right verb to pair with revealing sensitive information.
• Option 2 is correct. 'Divulge' means to make known (private or sensitive information). In police or legal contexts, authorities often refuse to 'divulge the identity' of suspects to protect ongoing investigations. This is standard English collocation.
• 'Convulge' is not a recognized English word (it is a distracter). 'Convulse' means to suffer violent, involuntary muscle contractions. 'Divert' means to cause someone or something to change course. None of these fit the context of releasing an identity.
• MPSC frequently tests formal verbs associated with administrative or legal jargon (e.g., divulge, conceal, rescind).
• Key Takeaway: Remember: To 'divulge' means to reveal secret or sensitive information.
