The prisoner has been languishing in the jail forn the last many years.

enjoying
avoiding
suffering
convicted

The correct answer is C. suffering.

The word “languishing” means to suffer or pine away, especially from illness, confinement, or boredom. In this case, the prisoner has been suffering in jail for many years.

The other options are incorrect.

  • Option A, “enjoying”, is incorrect because the prisoner is not enjoying being in jail.
  • Option B, “avoiding”, is incorrect because the prisoner is not avoiding being in jail.
  • Option D, “convicted”, is incorrect because being convicted is not the same as suffering.

I hope this helps!
