COLLUDED is a pretty good word here. The problem is that it is not as good as CORROBORATED.

COLLUDED is something that two thieves might do. However the word is too generic for this particular sentence.
Colluding COULD be planning a murder, or a bank robbery, but the word does not necessarily pertain to providing alibis (as is done in the above sentence)

CORROBORATED, on the other hand, perfectly describes the process of two criminals providing identical alibis so as to thwart an attempt to arrest them.

Hi, i wanted to confirm my thought approach for the last option i.e. "feigned" - to disregard this option, I interpreted that since thieves in discussion are "suspected" without any evidence or historical background of any robbery. Hence, for that reason i concluded there was not possibility of pretending in this matter. Can you please confirm if anything wrong with my approach. If yes, please suggest an alternative.

Sorry, but I'm having a hard time agreeing with your reasoning only because I don't know what it means to "FEIGN the other's story about where he was the night of the robbery", since it doesn't make any sense.

Hi Brent, Your thoughts on the following question from the GRE prep club would be helpful. I was correct for (I) but (II) which I thought to be "prohibit" or something on the level of snatching a bone.

Sorry, but I prefer not to answer unofficial Verbal questions since they often don’t represent what you’ll encounter on test day (please see comment policy)
