Correct Answer: rebuilt


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation: In the context of the passage describing the aftermath of the fire in London in 1666, the word that best fits is rebuilt, signifying the construction of new buildings after the devastation caused by the fire. The other options don't align with the context of reconstructing the city after the fire.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Innovated: To introduce new methods or ideas.
  • Modelled: To create something based on a particular design or pattern.
  • Restored: To bring something back to its original or former state.

Therefore, the correct answer is rebuilt.
