    A Aggravate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Uplift Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Jeopardize Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Diminish Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Withstand Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Government “schemes” for a population are generally intended to improve their situation. Uplift means to improve the social, cultural, or economic status of a group. “Aggravate” (make worse) or “Jeopardize” (put in danger) would be contextually incorrect.
