Answer: (c)

Meaning: Influx - flow towards something, Precedence - Priority in Importance, Altering - bringing change into something

The phrase “Took over” which are before and after the blank represent domination or of a higher importance. This takes us to the option C, Precedence which denotes domination over something. The issues mentioned in the sentence can’t be “suspense, influx altering and movement”.

“With ankle-deep dirt” in the end of the sentence, the blank signals the area to be dirty. Therefore, Mucky fits best to express the sentence as “The area beneath the ground bridge has turned dirty with ankle-deep dirt”
