Answer 2

The (a) levee could not hold back the flood.

(a) levee is the correct answer because:

• Here, the 'blank' should be a structure that can hold the water to prevent a flood.
• A levee is an embankment constructed along the banks of the river so that the floodwater can be held.
• Thus, this is the correct option.

(b) levi

'Levi' is no word in English. Levi's is a clothing brand.

(c) levy

The word 'levy' means impose.

Sentence usage: The government levied heavy penalties for the law breakers.
