Correct Answer: stagnated
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
Stagnated means a situation where water or air ceases to move or flow and gathers in a space. "Gather" is also not incorrect, but "stagnated" is used in the context of water or the atmosphere, and thus is the appropriate choice.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Gathered means to bring together or collect things or people into one place.
- Assembled means to gather or put together various parts or components to create a whole.
- Entered means to come or go to a particular place. It can also mean to become involved in or participate in a particular situation, activity, or discussion.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Due to heavy rains, water had stagnated in the low-lying areas.
