The blank is describing what the armed forces did to any working form of transportation they could find. The sentence gives further insight into the blank by stating the armed forces were without an adequate number of vehicles of their own, after arriving…days after Hurricane Zelda. So, the armed forces were “taking over” any form of transportation. Choice (A), repatriate, means to send someone back to their home country, so eliminate (A). Choice (B), commandeer, is a good match, so keep it. Choice (C), extradite, means to hand over someone to a judicial system, so eliminate (C). Choice (D), interdict, means to prohibit, so eliminate (D). Choice (E), expurgate, means to remove something questionable, so eliminate (E). Choice (F), appropriate, is a good match for the blank, so keep (F). The correct answer is (B) and (F).
