Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.

She made an ______ to break the record for long jump.

attempt

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is attempt.

The word attempt means to try to do something. In this context, the sentence is saying that she made an attempt to break the record for long jump. This means that she tried to break the record, but she may or may not have succeeded.

The other options are not correct.

• Attack means to try to hurt or harm someone. It does not make sense in this context because she is not trying to hurt or harm anyone.
• Intention means a plan or purpose. It does not make sense in this context because she is not simply planning to break the record, she is actually trying to do it.
• Exercise means to do something physical to stay healthy. It does not make sense in this context because she is not trying to stay healthy, she is trying to break the record.
