Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'advised'.
Key Points
- The verb 'advised' signifies the doctor's counsel or guidance against high sugar consumption due to diabetes.
- The words 'allowed', 'prevented', and 'proclaimed' do not accurately convey the meaning of 'instructed' in this particular context.
- The word 'allowed' could give an incorrect indication that the doctor is permitting the patient to consume sugar, while 'prevented' means the doctor is restricting the patient which isn't the precise message. 'Proclaimed' involves a public or official announcement, which isn't relevant here.
- 'Advised' is a suitable synonym for 'instructed', particularly in a medical context where medical professionals are guiding patients on health matters.
Conclusion: Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.
Additional Information
- The verb 'advise' is often used in professional contexts such as healthcare, where the suggestion or recommendation is based on specialized knowledge or expertise.
