The correct answers are B. peripatetic and E. itinerant because both words mean “traveling from place to place.”
• Peripatetic means moving around a lot, especially traveling to different places for work.
• Itinerant means traveling from place to place, often for a job.
In the sentence, doctors traveled long distances to deliver babies, so words meaning “traveling” fit best.
Other options like inexperienced, penurious (poor), gregarious (sociable), and dismissive (showing disregard) don’t describe traveling doctors.
