Correct Answer: afford
Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.
In this context, afford means that parents cannot bear or tolerate the idea of their child wasting their potential. The other options don't fit the sentence's meaning as well.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Visualise and envisage mean to form a mental image of something, but they don't convey the sense of parents being unable to tolerate the situation.
- Predict means to forecast or foretell something, which doesn't align with the idea of parents not tolerating their child wasting potential.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: No parents can afford to see their ward waste their potential.
