Answers & Comments
Answer:
I assume that the underlined word in no. 2 is lethargic? It means tired or exhausted.
For no. 4 is it illegible? it means it's hard to understand (the doctor's writing). Kumbaga in a conversation, it's inaudible (the words he/she is saying is not understandable), something like that.
(that's all I got, I hope it helps)
