Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emigrating refers specifically to leaving one's country of origin to go live in another country, which is exactly what Selma is doing by leaving Croatia to live in South Africa. The other options are either too general (moving, travelling) or don't accurately capture the act of leaving one country for another (immigrating, which would be more appropriate if Selma were coming to Croatia from another country).
