Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

  • The sentence is discussing the different degrees of memory loss, which can either be partial (meaning not complete or whole) or complete (meaning entire or total).
  • The options "partially" and "incomplete" do not fit the sentence as they suggest only a partial memory loss, whereas the sentence specifies that memory loss can also be complete.
  • The option "completely" is close, but not correct, as it suggests only complete memory loss and does not encompass the possibility of partial memory loss.
  • Therefore, the correct answer is "partial".

Thus, the correct sentence is:

Memory loss can be partial or total depending upon the condition.
