      Solution

      The word ‘diminish’ means ‘to reduce or be reduced in size or importance’. The word ‘deteriorate’ means ‘to become worse’. Both these words can be used here. 1- the act of officially detaining someone. 2- to notice something that is partly hidden or not clear, or to discover something, especially using a special method. 3- dead. 6- to express something with strong feeling, especially in a loud voice or with forceful language.
