The underlined word "broke" in this sentence means that the Managing Director of the company does not have any money or is without funds. It indicates a state of financial inability or insolvency.

Let`s dissect the given options to find the one nearest in meaning to "broke":

- Option 1: Bankrupt - This option accurately represents the meaning of "broke" as it refers to a person or organization being declared legally unable to repay their debts.

- Option 2: Rich - This option is the opposite of "broke" and does not accurately describe the financial state mentioned in the sentence.

- Option 3: Making profit - This option is not synonymous with "broke" as it implies the company is generating profit, which contradicts the statement of the Managing Director being without funds.

- Option 4: Having liabilities - This option does not capture the exact meaning of "broke" as it solely highlights the presence of financial obligations, without explicitly indicating a lack of funds.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1: Bankrupt.

Note: The given answer is correct and accurately corresponds to the meaning of the underlined word.
