Correct Answer: Shuts


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation: The sentence portrays an action where someone goes to her room and secures herself within it by locking the door. The word shuts is a suitable synonym in this context, as it conveys the act of closing or securing a space, such as a room.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Taunts refer to provocatively teasing or mocking someone.

  • Hurts refer to causing physical or emotional pain.

  • Sinks mean descending or going below the surface.

So, the correct sentence would be: "She goes to her room and shuts herself in."
