Correct Answer: prescribed


Solution : The fourth option is correct.

In this context, prescribed is the most suitable synonym for advised . When a doctor prescribes medicine, he recommends or advises the specific instructions for the use of a particular medication to treat an illness or condition.

The meanings of the other words are:

  • Prevented : This word means to stop something from happening or to make something impossible.
  • Proscribed : This term means to forbid or officially prohibit something.
  • Presented: This means to offer or provide something formally or to show or exhibit something to others.

Now, the complete sentence would be, "The doctor has prescribed medicine for the treatment of the disease".
