Correct Answer: amputation


Solution : The second option is correct.

In this context, amputation is used metaphorically. It suggests that something was removed or separated, and in this case, it refers to the removal or absence of Terry Fox, as indicated by the presence of a bronze statue erected in his honour among numerous similar tributes across Canada.

The meanings of the other words are as follows:

  • Fragmentation is the process of breaking or dividing something into smaller parts, or fragments.
  • Vasodilation is the widening or expansion of blood vessels, leading to increased blood flow.
  • Implantation is the action of placing or embedding something firmly in a particular location or context, often used in medical contexts.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "It resulted in amputation."
