- 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 contextclues 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.
