Answer 1

The three correct responses that best provide context to help you understand the meaning of "placebo" are:

1. “it had worked”
2. “she knew now that it was just”
3. “her brother told her”

These phrases indicate that the effect of closing her eyes was not due to the action itself, but rather a belief that it would help, which aligns with the concept of a placebo.
