Correct Answer: connected


Solution : The correct option will be the first option.

The original sentence uses the word "connecting," but it is not grammatically correct in this context. The correct past tense form for this sentence is connected.

The word "connected" is the past tense of "connect" and is the appropriate option in this context as it accurately describes the state of the bridge in the past, indicating that it was once intact and serving as a connection between the two cities before being destroyed by the bomb.

Therefore, the correct answer will be connected.
