A Correct answer
Explanation

Abscond means to leave hurriedly and secretly, typically to escape detection or avoid arrest. 'Decamp' means to depart suddenly or secretly, especially to escape - they are synonyms. Sojourn means to stay temporarily (opposite), halt means stop, and linger means to stay slowly - none convey the meaning of fleeing secretly.
