The hot sun enervated the labourer to the extent that he collapsed.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. weaken.

  • Enervated means drained of energy or weakened. Weaken means to reduce strength or energy, making it the appropriate synonym.

  • The other option means:

    • Alleviate: Reduce severity, not weaken.
    • Energise: Increase energy, opposite of enervate.
    • Elevate: Lift or raise, unrelated to energy.
