Correct Answer: weaken


Solution : The first option is the correct choice .

Enervated means drained of energy, and "weaken" means to make something or someone less strong, powerful, or effective. Thus, weaken is a synonym for enervated .

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Alleviate means to make a problem or suffering less severe or more bearable.
  • Energise means to provide energy or enthusiasm to someone or something.
  • Elevate means to raise something to a higher position or level, or to enhance or improve a person's status, mood, or performance.
