Explanation:

1. Sentence for "despondent"

"Despondent" means very sad and without hope. So we can create a sentence showing a person in such a state. For example, after losing his job, he became despondent and lost interest in his hobbies.

"Evanescent" refers to something that fades away quickly or is transient. A soap bubble's beauty is evanescent as it pops soon. So a sentence like The beauty of the soap bubble is evanescent, lasting only for a few seconds. works.

A "deterrent" is something that discourages or prevents an action. Strict laws can be a deterrent to crime. So the sentence Strict laws against theft act as a deterrent to potential criminals. is appropriate.

Answer:

After losing his job, he became despondent and lost interest in his hobbies.
