Explanation:

In writing, the sentence that can be added to a paragraph mainly depends on the content or details presented in the paragraph as the last sentence of it need to be connected to them and in this case on the grammatical tense presented. The paragraph in the question explains the way some people avoided capture and then there is a worry they will form a resistance movement, because of this, this paragraph includes past perfect and present perfect and the last sentence that is a consequence of the events that are predicted to occur uses the simple future "will form" and therefore, the last sentence that is also a consequence or effect of events in the past "the rebels overcome the empire’s troops and take the city" needs to include the future form to match the ideas and tense of the paragraph and thus, the sentence that should be added is " Then the rebels will overcome the empire’s troops and take the city".
