Hi Quynh Anh, 

You will be pleased to know that 'briser' is given as an alternative to 'casser' in this exercise.

Bonne Continuation!

Hi Quynh Anh,

Depends just how totally or to the extent of the breakage.

Cracked / split / broken (by accident?)  --  casser

Smashed / shattered / -- briser  (to bits, perhaps violently)

Hope this helps.
