Question

complete the sentence with the word that best fits the overall meaning and tone. as a theater critic, ninas enthusiasm for the upcoming off - broadway play began to _______ when she learned the lead actor dropped out. tranquilize ebb

Explanation:

"Tranquilize" means to make calm or sedate, usually through drugs. "Ebb" means to gradually decrease or decline. In the context of enthusiasm, "ebb" makes more sense as enthusiasm can decline. Enthusiasm is an emotional state and not something that is "tranquilized" in this context.

Answer:

ebb
