Vocabulary
underway, carry out/go on/to be in progress
Hello,
Do the sentences below sound natural to you:
- An investigation into his disappearance is being carried out.
- An investigation into his disappearance is underway.
- An investigation into his disappearance is in progress.
- An investigation into his disappearance is going on.
I realize that there are differences in meaning, but to the sentences sound natural enough?
Thank you.

I agree. However, I think "go on" and "carry out" can be used in everyday speech, no?
Thank you, Tuilen.
