Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: alleviate.
To alleviate something is to make it less severe or painful. In this case, the speaker is asking people not to make the suffering of the poor worse.
The other options are incorrect because they do not mean to make something less severe or painful.
- To abbreviate something is to make it shorter.
- To advocate for something is to support it or argue in its favor.
- To appreciate something is to value it or be grateful for it.
