Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct choice is the second option " filled with smoke".

It is the correct choice because it accurately describes the condition of the room. When we say a room is "filled with smoke", it means that there is a significant amount of smoke in the room, which matches the intended meaning.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • By smokes : It suggests that the room is smoky because of the action of "smokes", which doesn't convey the intended meaning.
  • With smokes : It is not a suitable phrase in this context. "With smokes" is not commonly used to describe a smoky room.

Therefore, the correct sentence is "The room is filled with smoke ".
