Pembahasan

Berdasarkan kalimat “ guidance from a pharmacist didn't seem to reduce those errors ” dapat diketahui bahwa kata ‘reduce’ bermakna ‘menurunkan’ sehingga pilihan jawaban (C) adalah yang paling tepat. Pilihan jawaban (D) salah karena walaupun artinya ‘berkurang/turun’ tapi secara kontekstual bermakna untuk nilai/kualitas, bukan jumlah. Pilihan (A), (B), dan (E) salah karena maknanya ‘meningkatkan’.
