suppressed; exaggerate
💡 Explanation:
A key clue here is “in order to “. This links the two halves of the sentence - the clinic is doing something in the first half in order to achieve some goal in the second. The first blank is what the clinic did to the numbers of people who dropped out of their program; the second is why they did this. Of all these options, it is (3) that fits our prediction. Hence, (3) is the answer.
