Question 7

We need to find the word that means "to return to an earlier and usually worse or less - developed condition or state". Let's analyze each option:

• "degrade" means to lower in quality or status, but not specifically returning to an earlier state.
• "gradual" is an adjective meaning happening slowly, not a verb related to returning to an earlier state.
• "graduate" means to complete a course of study or to move to a higher level, which is the opposite of what we need.
• "progressive" means moving forward or developing, also the opposite.
• "regress" means to return to a previous, usually worse, state or condition. So it matches the definition.

We need to find the word that means "to treat something or someone poorly and without respect; to make the quality of something worse". Let's analyze each option:

• "degrade" can mean to treat someone with disrespect or to lower the quality of something, which matches the definition.
• "gradual" is an adjective about the speed of a process, not related to treating poorly or worsening quality.
• "graduate" is about completing education or moving up, not relevant.
• "progressive" is about forward development, not relevant.
• "regress" is about returning to an earlier state, not about treating poorly or worsening quality.
