Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The reason for choosing option (1) "a wild-goose chase" to replace the underlined words in the sentence is as follows:
- "A wild-goose chase" is an established English idiom that means a futile, pointless, or unproductive search or endeavor.
- In the context of the sentence, the phrase "foolish and fruitless search" indicates that the search conducted by the policemen is in vain and leads to no real results. This aligns with the meaning of "a wild-goose chase," making it the appropriate choice.
- Options (2), (3), and (4) are not commonly recognized idioms and do not convey the intended meaning in the sentence. "A wild-dog chase" does not exist as an idiom, and "a wild-horse chase" and "a wild-duck chase" are not established idiomatic expressions in English.
