When something is "wedged" into a space, it means that it is tightly packed or squeezed into a narrow or confined area. This suggests that the object is firmly lodged in place and difficult to remove or dislodge. The word "wedged" implies a sense of pressure and tightness, indicating that the space is completely filled or occupied by the object. Therefore, "wedged" is the correct answer as it best describes the situation of something being tightly packed into a space.
