In the following questions, a part of the sentence has been highlighted. Choose the most appropriate replacement from the given options. If no improvement is required, choose the option accordingly. No matter your culinary skills, spend some reflective time in the kitchen to rejuvenate and devitalize your sense of self.

The sentence carries a positive reflective tone: relaxation, rejuvenation, self-care, emotional restoration. However: “devitalize” means: → weaken or drain vitality, which contradicts “rejuvenate.” Thus, the replacement must preserve: → positive emotional restoration. “Nourish and renew” perfectly complements: → rejuvenate, → reflective time, → restoration of self. Why others fail: (a) original creates contradiction (c) negative meaning contradicts context (d) “sap” means weaken/drain (e) “exhaust” contradicts rejuvenation Hence, option (b).
