The man is not as powerful as he once was, his influence has considerably _______
A
toppled
B
quelled
C

Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
The best word to complete the sentence is "diminished". The sentence describes a decline in the man's power and influence.
- Diminished: means to make or become less. This fits the context of losing influence.
- Toppled: means to overthrow, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence.
- Quelled: means to suppress or end something, usually by force, and is not appropriate in this case.
- Discarded: means to throw away or get rid of, which does not properly address the decline in influence.
