    _____________ of the difficulties faced by the student.
    A apprised Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B approved Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C sanctioned Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D appraised Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word ‘apprise’ means ‘to tell or inform someone about something’. This is the correct word to be used here. Appraise- to examine someone or something in order to judge their qualities, success, or needs. Approved and sanctioned also have similar meaning to that of ‘appraise’. They are inappropriate. When requested by a student, family members were apprised of the difficulties faced by the student.
