Correct Answer: caught early


Solution : The most appropriate choice to substitute is the second option.

Explanation: To ensure proper verb tense and maintain parallel structure in the sentence, the correct form is, caught early . The original sentence discusses the prospects of surviving a serious illness when the disease is detected early. Using caught early maintains consistency in verb tense and parallelism within the sentence.

So, the correct sentence would be: The prospects of surviving any serious illness are improved if the disease is caught early .
