Select the most appropriate set of words from the given choices to fill in the blanks.
My inward petition was instantly______. First, a delightful cold wave descended over my back and under my feet, _________ all discomfort.
Since the sentence is in a positive tone, "repudiated" and "decimated" are inappropriate for the first blank. Thus, options B and D are ruled out.
"Exacerbate" means to make something worse. Since the discomfort was removed, it is the wrong choice for the second blank.
Hence, the answer is option A.
