E Correct answer
Explanation

Careered means to move swiftly and in an uncontrolled way. When a car careers off the road, it's rushing or moving violently out of control into a ditch. Called (summoned), cadged (begged), calmed (soothed), and ceased (stopped) don't convey this uncontrolled, violent movement.
