Answer options

  1. violated
  2. invade
  3. disturb
  4. damaged

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: violated

Explanation: The correct answer is A.✅ ✅ The phrase "broke up the norms" is incorrect or awkward. The appropriate verb to describe ignoring or disobeying rules or norms is "violated." ❌"Invade" means to enter by force, which is not correct in this context. ❌"Disturb" refers to causing disorder or unrest, but not specifically breaking rules. ❌"Damaged" refers to physical harm, which is not suitable here. Correct sentence: The mob violated the norms of the country.
