Question 1 Report

From the word lettered A to E , choose the word that best completes the sentence.
His doctor ...the illness as yellow fever, not malaria.
Answer Details
The best option that completes the sentence is "diagnosed." In the given sentence, the speaker's doctor is making a statement about the nature of the speaker's illness. The word "diagnose" refers to the act of identifying or determining the nature or cause of a particular condition or problem. Therefore, the doctor "diagnosed" the illness as yellow fever, not malaria. The other options - "prescribed," "examined," "discovered," and "announced" - do not fit in the context of the sentence and do not convey the same meaning as "diagnosed."
