The correct answer is convey.

Convey is a similar word to transfer or pass onto and she couldn't pass her thanks to all her friends. Other words have completely different meanings.

The correct answer to this exercise is convey. A possible definition for this verb, according to several dictionaries, including Oxford and Cambridge, is: to communicate (a message or information). In the activity proposed, it's possible to infer that Teresa hadn't been able to appropriately transmit a message to her friends. None of the other possibilities provide a similar idea, or an adequate complement for the sentence. To segregate means to separate; to forsake means to quit or to abandon; to engulf means to completely cover or to overwhelm.
