Question

Read the poem carefully and fill the appropriate word for blank $6$.

• A. throws
• B. damages
• C. crushes
• D. breaks

Answer 1

The correct option is D breaks

Throughout the poem, the poet criticises the wind for crumbling things and destroying the weak. Let's find a synonym for 'crumbling'.

Option A - The wind not only throws, it also crushes, breaks and destroys everything. Since the criticism is about 'crumbling', we can't say it throws. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option B - The wind damages a lot of things, but the criticism is for the crumbling of the weak things and people. Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option C - The wind crushes everything according to the poet, but it's not the synonym of 'crumbling'. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option A - 'Crumbling' also means to break or disintegrate. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
