Key Points
- The sentence talks about Divya's reaction to peanuts, which is so severe that even a small amount of peanut butter can hospitalize her.
- The correct phrase to describe such a reaction is "allergic to."
- Option 1 (enamoured of): This means being fond of or in love with something, which does not fit the context.
- Option 2 (fatal to): Though this implies something can cause death, it is too extreme and not contextually appropriate here.
- Option 4 (no improvement is required): The original phrase ("interested in") is incorrect as it does not convey the severe reaction described.
Correct sentence: Divya is allergic to peanuts. The smallest quantity of peanut butter can hospitalise her.
