Correct Answer: Compressed
Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer since ''compressed'' fits perfectly in the sentence's meaning. In poetry, words are often used economically, and their arrangement is precise to convey a lot of meaning and emotion in a limited space.
The option ''suppressed'' means to restrain or keep something hidden; ''patronised'' means to support or be condescendingly kind to someone; and ''digressed'' means to deviate from a topic or wander off course, all of which doesn't fit contextually.
So, the complete sentence is "Poetry is a compressed form of expression in which the particularity of the word and the image to evoke feeling assumes great importance".
