Complete the sentences below by choosing the most suitable term.

With these X-ray glasses my vision is enhanced 1.

The explosion was very loud, but fortunately my hearing is still intact 2.
1 enhanced: This is correct. "Enhanced" shares a similar meaning with "increased". Susie says "confidence in Delavigne will not only remain intact, but maybe even be enhanced." This means that not only will there be no damage to Delavigne's reputation, but that it will in fact be increased. Example: "Computer software with enhanced functionalities" has functions which have been improved or made better in some way.
1 intact: This is incorrect. "Intact" shares a similar meaning with "undamaged" or "complete".
2 intact: This is correct. "Intact" shares a similar meaning with "undamaged". Susie wants to make it clear that confidence in Delavigne won't be damaged by the Ivana Bümbüm drug revelations. Example: A vase that remains "intact" is one which is unbroken or has not been damaged in any way.
2 enhanced: This is incorrect. "Enhanced" is synonymous with "increased".
