Solution

The most appropriate word to fill in the blank is "afflicted."

Explanation:

  • Afflicted means to be affected or troubled by something, typically in a negative way. In this context, it indicates that the child is suffering from a skin disease.
  • The other options do not fit well with the context:
    • Baffled suggests confusion,
    • Transfixed implies being so charmed or amazed that one is unable to move,
    • Unintelligible refers to something that cannot be understood.

Thus, the complete sentence is: "His younger child was afflicted with a skin disease."
