The correct answer is 'plunged'.
 
Key Points
  • The word "plunged" means to fall or descend suddenly into something, which fits the context of the sentence.
  • When lightning struck the power plant, the city areas were suddenly thrown into darkness, and "plunged" appropriately conveys this sudden transition.
  • The other options: "spread," "merged," "deep" do not fit the context as effectively.

​Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Complete Sentence: When lightning struck the power plant, many areas of the city were plunged into darkness for several hours.

Additional Information
  • Spread: means to extend over a larger area, which is not suitable here.
  • Merged: means to combine or unite, which does not fit the sentence.
  • Deep: means extending far down, which is contextually incorrect.
