Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. deteriorated.

Let's see the meaning of the given words:

  • Deteriorated- to become worse.
  • Depreciated- to gradually lose value over time.
  • Disparaged- to criticize someone or something in a way that shows you do not respect or value him, her, or it.
  • Denigrated- criticize unfairly; disparage.

Hence, the most suitable word is "deteriorated" as the sentence talks about how the patient's health became poorer overtime.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 i.e. deteriorated.
