Explanation:

- The sentence describes the action of the plumber responding to the robber's escape. The word choice should convey that the plumber deliberately went after the robber.

- Option 1: chased

- Implies following or pursuing someone to catch them.

- ?? Correct choice, as it effectively describes the plumber's attempt to catch the robber.

- Option 2: ran

- Simply indicates moving quickly, but lacks the pursuit aspect necessary for the context.

- Option 3: darted

- Suggests a quick, sudden movement but doesn’t imply following someone over a distance.

- Option 4: dashed

- Also suggests quick movement, but does not adequately convey the idea of pursuing someone.

??Chased is the best fit because it correctly captures the act of pursuing the robber with intent.
