Correct Answer(s)
D. 5 prescription
E. 4 getExplanation
The correct answer is "5 prescription, 4 get". This is because the sentence mentions that she had to get a prescription for painkillers, indicating that she needed medication to alleviate her pain. Additionally, the sentence does not mention anything about her blood pressure or temperature, so those options can be ruled out. The word "felt" does not fit in the context of the sentence, so "4 put" can also be eliminated.Rate this question:
