OE
The sentence presents a change over time; Previously, household tasks took up substantial time, but the appliances have changed that tremendously Therefore, the correct answer will support the idea of the tasks being reduced. Choice(E)-impinged (meaning to infringe upon or advance beyond the normal limit) and Choice(F)-augmented (meaning making something greater in number or strength) are the opposite meanings needed for the missing word. Choice(C)-masticated (meaning to bite or grind with the teeth) and Choice(D)-attenuated (meaning reduced in strength )both mean reduced but with the wrong connotation to suit the question stem. The correct answers are Choice (A)-bated (meaning diminished) and Choice (B)-minified (meaning lessened).
