If you obstruct the entrance to the building you:

  1. block it

  2. enter it

  3. leave it

  4. cross it

The correct answer is: block it

When you obstruct the entrance to a building, it means that you are blocking the way in or impeding access. Therefore, the correct answer is focused on the act of preventing entry, which is accurately represented by the idea of blocking it. Obstructing an entrance implies creating a barrier that makes it difficult or impossible for others to enter, thus leading to the logical conclusion that blocking is the appropriate term to describe this action. The other options do not align with this definition. Entering the building suggests gaining access, leaving implies exiting, and crossing refers to moving from one side to another, none of which pertain to the action of obstructing.
