Q: Answer-In the following questions, a sentence is given with two blanks in it followed by multiple options....

Context Meaning Starting with the conditional word Unless, the sentence explains that a lack of privacy standards causes distrust among patients, which in turn reduces the success of online health services. Blank 1 Requires an adjective describing patient behavior when privacy is unsafe. Hesitant word B fits properly to mean reluctant or slow to share private medical details. Blank 2 Requires a participle verb showing the negative impact of patient reluctance. Undermining word D accurately means weakening or ruining the effectiveness of these platforms. Elimination Option B A and E Patients would not be eager excited to share data if privacy is weak, nor would it lead to improving health programs. Option C C and F Required and validating do not form a sensible cause-and-effect relationship based on lack of privacy protection. Option D B and E While hesitant fits the first blank, patient hesitation cannot lead to improving the effectiveness of consultations.
