Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.
The accident left Tom not so much incapacitated as -------: he was left weak, but the doctors gave him reason to expect -------.
A. enfeebled . . progression
B. inconvenienced . . deterioration
C. frustrated . . enervation
D. vindicated . . complication
E. debilitated . . recovery
Answer is E
Here's Why:
Choice (E) is correct. “Debilitated” refers to an often temporary loss of strength, less severe than becoming “incapacitated,” or deprived of strength or ability. Since the impairment is serious but temporary, doctors might very well encourage Tom to expect “recovery” after a period of convalescence.
