Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase "of my life" is redundant because the sentence already specifies the timeframe as "last week." It is impossible to be ill during a time that is not part of one's life, making the addition unnecessary. Removing it results in a clearer, more natural statement.
