Correct Answer: erected


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : In the context of building structures, especially after a disaster like a fire, the term erected is the most fitting as it refers to the construction or building of new structures. In the aftermath of the fire, London underwent the construction of new buildings using bricks instead of wood.

So, erected best fits the context of building or constructing new structures.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Organised means arranged or planned systematically.
  • Fabricated means constructed or built, often referring to creating something using various components.
  • Located means placed or situated in a particular position.
