Correct Answer:

was invigorated

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → was invigorated

  • Was invigorated (Phrase): Means to be given energy or vitality. This captures the sense of renewal and flourishing described by the garden blossoming with the rains.

  • Came to life (Idiom): Means to become active, animated, or vigorous; to be renewed or infused with energy. In the context of a garden, it implies that the plants began to grow strongly, look healthy, and flourish.
