訳 · Translation
Twenty years ago the shopping street by the station was full of shoppers. But after a big shopping mall was built on the outskirts, customers gradually fell away. Only about half the shops are open now.
正解 · Answer
しだいに
解説 · Why
A twenty-year decline is gradual, so しだいに ("gradually") fits the timeframe given.
誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
急に — The passage describes change over two decades.
とっくに — とっくに means "long since" and does not modify 減る this way.
ますます — Possible in isolation but しだいに better fits the slow slide described.
