Question

the seasons heavy rains ______ our water supply.
elicited
augmented
comprehended
clarified

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each word's meaning:

• "elicited" means to draw out (a response, etc.), not related to water supply.
• "augmented" means to increase or make larger. Heavy rains would likely increase the water supply.
• "comprehended" means understood, which doesn't fit the context of water supply.
• "clarified" means to make clear, not related to increasing water supply.

So "augmented" is the correct choice as it logically fits the context of heavy rains affecting water supply.

Answer:

B. augmented (assuming the options are labeled A: elicited, B: augmented, C: comprehended, D: clarified)
