1 threat: "Threat" is the best choice here. A "threat" is a "menace" or a "danger": something or someone which puts you at risk or in danger. In the letter, Kyle Krabb writes that "the quantities of poison consumed by your son were too small to pose a threat to his life". "To pose (something)" is to create a threat/problem/danger/risk/challenge that needs to be dealt with. Example: Everest poses a challenge to even the best climbers.
2 broke in: "Broke in" is the best choice here. "To break in (to a house)" is to enter without invitation and illegally. This is usually to commit theft, a robbery, or a burglary. The simple past tense is needed here because the event happened "last weekend" Example: "It is almost impossible to break in to Buckingham Palace". Note that this verb is irregular: break in/broke in/broken in.
3 apologize: "Apologize" is the best choice here. "To apologize" is "to say sorry". Example: "He apologized for what he did, but it sounded like he was lying". Note that the UK spelling of this term is different: "to apologise".
