Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase 'plunged into darkness' is the correct idiomatic expression. 'Plunge' means to thrust or fall suddenly, which fits the context of a power outage. 'Spread' doesn't capture the suddenness, 'merged' is incorrect contextually, and 'deep' is an adjective, not a verb.
