Model Answer
apprise → apprised
The correct form is: Please keep me apprised of your next step to address this matter.
Explanation
"Keep me apprised" is a fixed formal expression meaning "keep me informed/updated." The verb apprise must be in its past participle form (apprised) here because it follows the structure keep + object + past participle (similar to "keep me informed"). This is the standard usage in formal/official letters.
