The actually severe weather of 1890-91 caused the starvation of 36 million Russians due to the fact that Southeast Russia didn’t have enough grain. The seeds planted in the autumn couldn’t germinate before a severe winter arrived, and the Spring brought with it dusty winds that blew the topsoil away. It didn’t rain for 100 days, wells, ponds and forests dry up, and the cattle died because they could not be fed. The government warned the newspapers not to denominate that catastrophe as a famine. The eventual food deliveries were slow, millions of peasants lost their faith, and the people for the first time rebelled against the government.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Taking the context into consideration, we can complete the sentence in the following manner:

- The <u>ailing </u>young woman is often frustrated because, although she knows her debilitation is not her fault, she still feels guilty about her lassitude.

  • In order to complete the sentence, we must first look for context clues in it that may help us understand what words should be used.
  • The sentence mentions an ailing young woman. When we look up the meaning of "ailing", we find it refers to being in<u> poor health.</u>
  • Therefore, we can assume the rest of the sentence will keep on talking about health issues.
  • With that in mind, the best answers are "debilitation" and "lassitude" (the fourth option).
  • "Debilitation" is the process of reducing the strength of something or someone.
  • "Lassitude" refers to a state of lack of strength or energy.
