「As temperatures rise, more moisture evaporates, which exacerbates extreme rainfall and flooding, the result of which are more destructive storms.」 (隨著氣溫升高，更多水分蒸發，這加劇了極端降雨和洪水，導致更具破壞性的風暴。)
「Global warming exacerbates water shortages in water-stressed regions and is leading to an increased risk of agricultural droughts affecting crops, and ecological droughts increasing the vulnerability of ecosystems.」 (全球暖化加劇了水資源匱乏地區的短缺，並導致農業乾旱的風險增加，影響農作物，生態乾旱則增加生態系統的脆弱性。)
「Exacerbated by climate change, the world is losing species at a rate 1,000 times greater than at any other time in recorded human history.」 (受氣候變遷加劇，世界物種滅絕的速度比有記錄的人類歷史上任何其他時間快1,000倍。)
從這些上下文可以推斷，「exacerbate」表示使情況變得更糟或更嚴重。
因此，第 28 題的正確答案為：(D) To make something worse. (使某事變得更糟。)
