Answer 2

This piece of information was discovered by one keen local reporter and was blown up out of all proportion by the national press.

Explanation:  

• The word blown up fits the sentence structure the best.
• Blown up refers to something being increased or inflated. Here, it means that the information was exaggerated in such a way that it was completely unnecessary or pointless to give so much importance to something very trivial.
• This indicates that the information was not particularly important but the national press exaggerated it way too much.
