Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
The doctor ____________ two tablets per day.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Prescribed.
"Prescribed" fits well in the blank because it specifically denotes the action taken by a medical professional to authorize or recommend a particular medication and dosage for a patient.
The other options are not suitable for the context of the sentence because:
The other option means:
Advised: It implies a suggestion rather than a specific directive.
Ordered: The term often suggests a directive or obligation, which may not accurately represent the collaborative nature of the doctor-patient relationship in medication discussions.
Proposed: It suggests putting forward an idea or suggestion.
