Emigrate

The correct answer is option 2.

Key Points

• To answer this question, let's first understand the meaning of the word given in the question:
• Emigrate: (Verb) to leave one's own country in order to settle permanently in another. It refers to exiting a country.
• Now, let's examine the given sentences:
• Sentence 1: Animals emigrate in search of food from place to place.
  • This is incorrect. While animals do move for food, "emigrate" specifically refers to people leaving their country to settle in another. The term for animal movement is usually "migrate."
• Sentence 2: The family decided to emigrate to a safe and secure country.
  • This sentence correctly uses "emigrate" as it describes a family leaving their current country to settle permanently in another, safer one.
• Sentence 3: Workers emigrate from province to province in search of seasonal jobs.
  • This is incorrect. "Emigrate" implies leaving one's country. Movement within different provinces of the same country is usually referred to as "migrate" or "relocate."
• Sentence 4: New laws were being enacted to control emigration into the country.
  • This is incorrect. "Emigration" refers to people leaving a country. Laws to control movement into a country relate to "immigration."

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 2".
