    Solution

    The correct word that should be used here is ‘escalated’. It means ‘to become or make something become greater or more serious.’. Excavate- to remove earth that is covering very old objects buried in the ground in order to discover things about the past. Indictment- a formal statement of accusing someone of something. Inimical- harmful or limiting. The argument escalated into a physical fight, when he told what had happened the previous day.
