Choose the most appropriate replacement of the underlined word so that the meaning does not change.

Due to a military coup, some of those in captivity were released.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

'Captivity' means confinement or imprisonment, so 'incarceration' (the state of being imprisoned) preserves the meaning. 'Incarnation' means embodiment, 'incendiary' relates to fire or provocation, and 'incandescent' means glowing; none fits the sense of the sentence.
