answer explanation:
<p>A machine in the facility broke down due to a <b>lapse</b> in equipment maintenance.</p><p><span style="font-size: 13.008px;">The correct answer is (B) </span><span style="font-size: 13.008px;">lapse.</span><br></p>
<div data-answer="b">In this sentence, we are talking about a machine breaking down in the facility. The word "due to" indicates that there is a cause for the breakdown. The options (A) violation, (C) construction, and (D) removal do not make sense in the context of equipment maintenance. The correct word is (B) lapse, which means a temporary failure or slip in maintaining the equipment. Therefore, the sentence should read "A machine in the facility broke down due to a lapse in equipment maintenance."
