Correct Answer: an area


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

This choice fits well in the context of the passage discussing English ivy covering spaces. An area aligns with the general idea of coverage or extent, indicating the amount of space the ivy can cover. The passage discusses ivy's ability to cover space on the exterior of buildings, not specifically walls or surfaces, making "an area" the most suitable option to describe the extent of coverage.
