Correct Answer: tumbled down


Solution : The first option is correct.

The most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence is tumbled down .

Both toppled and tumbled down convey the idea that the sand castle fell or collapsed due to the force of the wind. In this context, tumbled down is a suitable alternative that maintains the meaning of the sentence while providing a slightly different way to express the action of the sand castle collapsing.

Therefore, the correct answer is tumbled down .
