    D Elevated Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The phrase ‘behind the curve’ means ‘less advanced, or developing, understanding something, or reaching a point more slowly than other things or people’. It is correct here. Ahead of the curve- more advanced, or developing, understanding something, or reaching a point more quickly than other things or people. It is inappropriate here. Frontloading- to put or have more payments, charges, activities, etc. close to the beginning of a period. It is contextually incorrect. Elevated- to raise something or lift something up.
