    Correct Answer
    D. Hardly ever
    Explanation
    The phrase "hardly ever" accurately reflects the rarity of an event such as swimming only once a year. It indicates that the action is so infrequent it almost never happens. This choice effectively communicates that swimming is an exceptional activity rather than a regular occurrence, contrasting sharply with terms like "often," "sometimes," and "usually," which imply more frequency. Therefore, "hardly ever" best fits the context of an annual occurrence.

    The word "seldom" means not often or rarely. Therefore, if someone is "seldom sick," it implies that they do not get sick very often. This explanation fits with the context of the sentence, where the person's brother saw a doctor a couple of years ago, suggesting that he is rarely sick.
