Answer: either
Wait, this is a trick! If something is negative in the past and negative now, we don't use anymore. But for A2, let's stick to the rule: "it isn't open ___" -> "any longer" is a correct choice for a changed state if it used to be open. Let's use 'any longer'.

Answer: any longer
'Any longer' is used at the end of a negative sentence ('isn't') to show a change.
