what is the meaning of enhance as it is used in the sentence?
devalue
criticize
improve
exchange
part b
which phrase provides clues to the answer to part a?
heard this conversation
next time i visit

Explanation:

“Enhance” means to make something better. “Improve” also means to make better. “Devalue” means to make less valuable. “Criticize” means to find fault. “Exchange” means to swap. So “enhance” in the context of making strength, dexterity, and awareness better is closest to “improve”. For Part B, “next time I visit” implies that there will be a future interaction where the merchant will show the best merchandise. This future - oriented idea (showing the best merchandise in the future) is related to the idea of making (enhancing/improving) the buyer's strength etc. better. The other phrase “I heard this conversation” is more about past experience and not directly related to the meaning of “enhance”.

Answer:

Part A: improve
Part B: “next time I visit”
