changed
increased
decreased

Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: B. increased.
The value of some shares has appreciated considerably after the last budget. This means that the value of the shares has gone up. The word “appreciate” means to increase in value. The word “considerably” means to a great extent.
The other options are incorrect because they do not mean to increase in value. The word “changed” can mean to become different, but it does not necessarily mean to increase in value. The word “decreased” means to become smaller, and the word “crashed” means to fail suddenly and completely.
