Correct Answer: Spirit


Solution : The correct answer will be the first option.

Wraith refers to a ghostly or insubstantial form, and spirit is a suitable synonym in this context. Both words convey the idea of a diminished or fading presence, aligning with the sense of the daughter becoming a mere shadow or spirit of her former self.

The meanings of the other options are:

Wail: It means a prolonged, mournful cry of pain, grief, or anger.
Being: It means a living organism or the state of having existence.
Yore: It means a time long ago; former days or years.

Therefore, the correct answer will be spirit.
