Answer 2

Answer:

The criminals managed to escape from the prison even though two armed policemen kept vigil over them.

Explanation:

Among the given option, the right answer is the first one that is kept vigil over them. This line means to keep an eye or watch closely over someone. A vigil is when you stay alert to guard something or someone

• Took cannot be used here as took vigil over someone is a wrong sentence to be put in a statement.
• The criminals were put into prison is the right sentence but put vigil is not. so put is also a wrong option.
• Two armed policemen guarded them is right but guarded cannot be used before the vigil.

So, the right form of the verb will be kept.
