What action might one perform if they "halt" their movements?

  1. Continue running

  2. Stop abruptly

  3. Start walking faster

  4. Jump to a conclusion

The correct answer is: Stop abruptly

The action of "halting" one's movements signifies bringing oneself to a stop. When someone halts, they are ceasing all forward motion, allowing for a moment of pause or stillness. Stopping abruptly conveys a clear image of immediately ending any current activity or movement, aligning perfectly with the definition of halting. This is why this choice is the correct answer. The other choices do not fit with the concept of halting: continuing to run involves ongoing movement, starting to walk faster implies increasing one's pace, and jumping to a conclusion suggests making a decision or assumption without necessary deliberation, which again does not align with the idea of stopping or halting.
