The heavy medications and strong drugs at the sanatorium will surely turn a patient completely lifeless and unresponsive.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. cadaverous.
Correct word: Cadaverous
Meaning: Looking extremely pale, thin, or bony — like a dead body; lifeless in appearance.
Example: The patient appeared cadaverous after weeks of illness.
Meaning of the other words:
Tombic: Not a valid English word
Zonic: Not a standard English word; no relevant meaning in context
Wasted: Informal; can mean very weak, tired, or intoxicated, but lacks the connotation of complete lifelessness
Hence, the chosen option is the correct one word substitution.
