Which term means to make worse?

• A. Exacerbate
• B. Exposure
• C. Fatigue
• D. External

Answer: (A)

Exacerbate means to make a problem or condition worse or more severe. It’s used when something increases the intensity or seriousness of an issue, such as symptoms or a disease. For example, certain factors can exacerbate asthma or headaches. The other terms refer to different ideas: exposure is being subjected to something, fatigue is tiredness, and external means outside or outward—none of these convey the sense of making something worse.
