Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.
Soon after the doctor gave her the next ______ of the medicine, the patient began to ______.

Correct option is C

The correct option to fill in the blank is (c) dose, doze.

Explanation:

• Dose (noun) refers to a measured quantity of a medicine taken at one time. (दवाकीखुराक)
• Doze (verb) means to sleep lightly or nap briefly. (झपकीलेना)

The sentence logically describes that the patient received a dose of medicine and then began to doze, likely due to its sedative effect.

Example: After receiving a strong dose of the medicine, he began to doze peacefully in the chair.

Why other options are incorrect:
· (a) dose, dozed – Incorrect tense combination. “Dozed” is past tense but “gave” already implies a past sequence, so we need present infinitive "doze" to describe what happened subsequently.
· (b) dosed, doze – "Dosed" is rarely used in modern English as a verb in this form.
· (d) doze, dose – Logically incorrect. You don’t take a “doze” before getting a “dose”.
