The unconscious man was … after receiving first aid.

Step 1: Analyze the question We need the word that best fits "The unconscious man was _ after receiving first aid." The key ideas are unconscious and first aid, so we need a word meaning "brought back to consciousness."

Step 2: Examine each option

• A. Revived: To revive means to bring someone back to consciousness or life. It is the standard word used for an unconscious or fainted person after first aid. ✔
• B. Reawakened: This usually describes stirring up feelings, interests, or memories (e.g., "reawakened her love for music"). It is not used for medical recovery of consciousness.
• C. Reformed: This means to improve one's behavior or character, or to change the form of something. It does not fit here.
• D. Restored: This means to return something to its original condition (e.g., "restored order," "restored a building"). We could say "his health was restored," but we would not normally say a man was restored after first aid. It is not the best fit for regaining consciousness.

Step 3: Answer The sentence reads naturally as: "The unconscious man was revived after receiving first aid."

Exam tip: Learn collocations, which are words that naturally go together. Revive pairs with unconscious, fainted, drowning, or collapsed people. Restore pairs with order, peace, health, or buildings. Reform pairs with criminals, laws, or systems.
