      Question

      In the following questions, a part of the sentence has

      been highlighted. Choose the most appropriate replacement from the given options. If no improvement is required, choose the option accordingly. During the intense debate, tensions began to rise, leading one participant to break away emotionally, revealing his vulnerability.
      A To break into Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B To break out Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C To break down Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D No substitution Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E To break through Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The sentence suggests: emotional vulnerability, loss of emotional control during tension. The correct phrasal verb should therefore mean: → emotional collapse. “Break down” means: → lose emotional control or become emotionally overwhelmed. Thus: “leading one participant to break down emotionally” is the most contextually appropriate expression. Why others are incorrect: break into → enter suddenly break out → escape/start suddenly break away → separate physically or ideologically, not emotional collapse break through → overcome barrier Hence, option (c).
