Emotionally wrecked |
The answer is (☀) Emotionally wrecked. The idiom "broke down" can mean to lose control of one's emotions, usually as a result of a stressful or traumatic event. In this case, the man has lost all of his money, which is a very stressful event. As a result, he is emotionally wrecked. He may be feeling sad, angry, or scared. He may also be feeling hopeless or helpless. The idiom "broke down" can also mean to physically collapse, but this is not the meaning in this case. The man is not physically injured, but he is emotionally devastated. The other options are incorrect. (2) Financially wrecked is not the best answer because it does not capture the emotional aspect of the man's breakdown. (3) Physically wrecked is not the best answer because the man is not physically injured. |
