Which term represents the action of restoring or making something whole again?

Deplete
Enhance
Augment
Repair

The correct answer is: Repair

The term that represents the action of restoring or making something whole again is "repair." This word specifically refers to the process of fixing, mending, or restoring something that has been damaged or is not functioning properly. In a healthcare context, for example, repair can refer to surgical procedures that restore the integrity of tissues or organs. While the other terms have their own meanings, they do not convey the same sense of restoration. To deplete means to reduce the quantity or supply of something, which is the opposite of making something whole. Enhance suggests improving or increasing something’s quality or value but does not imply restoring it to its original state. Augment refers to adding something to enhance or improve it, rather than fixing or restoring what is already there. Thus, repair is the most appropriate choice when discussing the act of making something whole again.
