Explanation:

The word "chasm" means a deep fissure in the earth, or a large gap or divide. In the context of relationships or social - economic differences, it can be used metaphorically. The sentence about the argument causing a gap in a relationship and the one about the widening gap between the wealthy and the poor use it correctly. The other sentences use it inappropriately as "chasm" does not mean a pleasant choice, a quality to be taught, or a collection.

Answer:

A serious argument has caused an unfortunate chasm in their relationship.
Statistics show a widening chasm between the wealthy and the poor.
