Correct Answer: sound


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The context suggests a disruption in the quietness of the place. The phrase sound of breaking refers to the noise associated with something breaking, making "sound" the most suitable option here.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Intact means whole or undamaged.
  • Flawless means perfect or without faults.
  • Vibrant means full of energy or brightness.

Therefore, the correct answer is sound.
