Correct option is C
The correct option is (c).
• Explanation: The context of the sentence implies tearing down or destroying buildings or physical structures ('demolished'). The phrasal verb 'pulled down' means to demolish a building or structure completely, making it the most accurate alternative.
• Correct answer word – Pulled down
Hindi meaning: ढहा देना / गिरा देना
Example: The old warehouse was pulled down to construct a modern shopping complex.
Grammatical rule(English/Hindi): Phrasal verbs carry distinct definitions when combined with particles. 'Pull down' is specifically used for structural demolition, whereas 'break down' usually refers to machinery failure or emotional collapse.
Meanings of other options:
• Put down – To suppress by force, or to record in writing (दबाना / लिखना)
• Taken down – To dismantle or write down words spoken (लिखना / अलग करना)
• Broken down – Ceased to function due to mechanical mechanical failure (खराब हो जाना)
So the correct answer is (c)
