Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. track

  • Track is a suitable option.
  • "Getting your life back on track" is a popular statement that refers to returning to a regular situation or taking charge of one's life following a challenging phase.
  • In the context of the passage, it implies that a person could regain stability and return to a more manageable and productive state of life by identifying and treating the symptoms of bipolar disorder.
  • Compared to other options:
    • Platform: Not appropriate in this context; it relates to a stage or foundation.
    • Time: It is an idiomatic term that relates to a temporal idea.
    • System: The word system describes a collection of connected parts; while it may have some metaphorical use, it is not a synonym for "getting back on track."
