options: corroded, tormented, conjectured, depicted, subsisted

Explanation:

For the first sentence, "conjectured" means to form an opinion or theory without proof, which fits the context of scientists' statement about reducing pollution. "Corroded" relates to rusting, "tormented" to suffering, "depicted" to showing, and "subsisted" to surviving—none fit.

Answer:

conjectured
