Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Tampered means to interfere with something to damage or alter it. In this context, it means that someone has tried to open the lock without the key.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Trample means to crush or step heavily on something, typically causing damage by doing so.
  • Tethered means to tie or fasten with a tether, like securing an animal with a rope or chain to restrict its movement within a certain area.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Someone has tampered with my lock."
