Explanation
The same-direction semi-colon and the clues that an aloe plant is an excellent choice for someone who lacks time for frequent watering or careful maintenance requires that the blank mean something like thrive. None of facilitate, ingest, consume, or advance means thrive, so eliminate choices (A), (B), (C), and (E). Flourish means thrive, so select choice (D).
Hence D is the correct answer!

No detour and no change in the direction of the meaning. And I do not think this question meets the GRE standards, tbh.
