Answer:
1) Fortified by a good night's rest and a full stomach, Xi was ready for his long journey
2) Break down or decompose
Explanation:
I figured out the answer to question number 1 by researching what fortified means. Fortified means being strengthened mentally, physically, and/or morally. The last sentence satisfied this definition.
In order to understand the second question, you have to know what the words deterioration and decline mean. Deterioration means breaking down or breaking apart, and decline can mean steadily going downhill or decomposing.
