Correct Answer: completed loss or


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Completed is the past participle of the verb complete , but in this context, we need the adjective complete to describe the loss of the sense of smell. As the sentence is in the simple past tense because it is a general fact, the base form should be used.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Anosmia is the complete loss or absence of the sense of smell.
