Read the given passage and fill blank (iii).
Directions: Complete this passage by selecting the most suitable option for the corresponding gap.
The neighbourhood police officer in his shining cap and uniform has a very _____(i)______ job. He helps the community by seeing that everybody _____(ii)____ the law. He takes extra care to protect the young and the old from bad people. He helps the traffic, _______(iii)______ catches thieves. Whenever there is any reason for you to be______(iv)______, you can call him to help you.
The sentence 'He helps the traffic, _(iii) catches thieves' lists two duties of a police officer. 'As well as' correctly connects these two responsibilities - he helps traffic AND also catches thieves. 'But also' would require 'not only' earlier, 'along with' typically requires a different sentence structure, and 'which also' doesn't grammatically fit here.
