Correct Answer: mended


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

The word collapsed implies a sudden failure or breakdown, suggesting that the room beneath the building has suffered structural failure. On the other hand, mended means repaired or restored, serving as an antonym, as it suggests a state of being fixed or brought back to a stable condition.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Finished means completed or concluded.
  • Cracked means broken or damaged.
  • Choked means hindered or obstructed.

Therefore, the correct answer is mended.
