Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Referred is the appropriate word to use in this context, as it means someone directed the patient to see Dr. Paulson for medical treatment. It accurately conveys the intended meaning.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Introduced implies that someone personally brought the patient to Dr. Paulson.
  • Alluded means to make an indirect reference to something.

So, the correct sentence should be: The receptionist asked the patient, "Who referred you to Dr. Paulson?"
