Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: The data confirms that the patient is suffering from extreme anxiety, and a tranquilizing medication is immediately required.
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The word 'confirms' is not used correctly in the sentence. 'Confirms' should be followed by 'that' to link the subject 'data' with the verb 'confirms.' The corrected sentence should read: 'The data confirms that the patient is suffering from extreme anxiety, and a tranquilizing medication is immediately required.' This change ensures proper grammar and sentence structure.
