Question

Complete the sentence using the most appropriate option:

How did that window get ____?

• A. damaged
• B. broken
• C. attacked
• D. paid

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Generally, in case of windows any damage is referred to as breaking.

Option A, damaged means harmed. While it is a good fit in the sentence, it is not the best one. Thus, it is incorrect.

Option B is correct. Broken best describes the window and is the best fit for this sentence.

Option C is incorrect. Attacked is usually used for living things. Thus, even if it fits in the sentence, it is not the best one.

Option D is incorrect because paid means 'make payment of money' and thus, due to unrelated meaning it does not fit in the sentence at all.
