Concept:The correct option must fit the meaning of "no longer connected or in one piece."Explanation:The word "broken" means split, out of order, or not continuous. This meaning best matches the blank in the sentence. The other options do not fit the intended sense: "cancelled" means called off, "annulled" means declared invalid, and "separated" means moved apart. Therefore, the word that completes the sentence is "broken."Answer:C. broken
