Select the correct word for the blank in the following sentence. After completing the intense surgery, Dr. Capra needed a long ___.
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is 'break.' In this context, 'break' is the correct word to use after intense surgery, as it refers to a period of rest or interruption. 'Brake' refers to a device for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle, 'brink' means the edge or margin of something, and 'broke' is the past tense of 'break.' Therefore, the most appropriate choice is 'break' to indicate the need for rest after completing the surgery.
