The correct answer is Both A and B.

Key Points

The meaning of ‘Squash’ is squeeze or force into a small or restricted space. It is a verb.

  • In sentence A, the word has been correctly used. Here the word squashed is aptly used for describing the unavailability of space and it fits the context perfectly.
  • In sentence B, squash means ‘to put an end to something that troubles someone’. So it fits the context perfectly where it is used for the simmering tensions between the two communities.
  • In sentence C, squash is inappropriately used. It should be replaced with either ‘crash’ or ‘ram’ to make the sentence contextually correct.


Additional Information

Crash or ram- hit or drive a vehicle into something.
