Correct answer: electric
Explanation: The term 'electric' is an adjective that describes devices powered by electricity, fitting grammatically and contextually as it modifies 'can openers' in the sentence.
Meaning: 'Electric' refers to something that operates using electricity, such as electric can openers.
Wrong options:
- electrical: While 'electrical' is also an adjective, it generally refers to the field of electricity rather than describing devices directly, making it less suitable here.
- electronic: 'Electronic' pertains to devices that use electronic circuits, which is not the intended meaning for can openers, thus it doesn't fit.
- electricity: 'Electricity' is a noun and cannot modify 'can openers' as it does not function as an adjective.
Correct answer: demanding
Explanation: The word 'demanding' is an adjective that describes something requiring a lot of effort, fitting well in the context of physical activity and aligning with the grammatical structure of the sentence.
Meaning: 'Demanding' means requiring a lot of physical effort or energy, which is appropriate in the context of exercise.
Wrong options:
- need: 'Need' is a verb and does not fit grammatically in this context where an adjective is required.
- pushing: 'Pushing' is a gerund or present participle that does not convey the intended meaning of requiring effort in this context.
- supplying: 'Supplying' is a verb that does not relate to the physical effort required, making it unsuitable.
Correct answer: much
Explanation: The word 'much' is used with uncountable nouns like 'fat,' making it grammatically correct in this context, where we refer to an amount of fat carried by the body.
Meaning: 'Much' refers to a large quantity of something uncountable, in this case, fat.
Wrong options:
- many: 'Many' is used with countable nouns, which does not apply here since 'fat' is uncountable.
- few: 'Few' implies a small number and is used with countable nouns, making it incorrect in this context.
- several: 'Several' also refers to countable nouns and does not fit with the uncountable noun 'fat'.
Correct answer: main
Explanation: The word 'main' is an adjective that indicates the primary or most important ways, fitting grammatically and contextually in the sentence.
Meaning: 'Main' means the most important or primary, which is appropriate when discussing ways to increase calorie expenditure.
Wrong options:
- large: 'Large' describes size rather than importance, making it unsuitable in this context.
- odd: 'Odd' implies something unusual or strange, which does not relate to the concept of primary ways, thus it is incorrect.
- substantial: 'Substantial' means considerable in amount or importance, but it does not convey the idea of being primary as effectively as 'main'.
Correct answer: daily
Explanation: The word 'daily' is an adjective that describes something occurring every day, fitting well in the context of a routine, which is typically a daily occurrence.
Meaning: 'Daily' means occurring every day, which is relevant when discussing routines.
Wrong options:
- usual: 'Usual' refers to something that is common or habitual but does not specifically imply frequency like 'daily' does.
- common: 'Common' indicates something that is frequent or widespread but lacks the specificity of daily occurrence.
- simple: 'Simple' refers to something easy or uncomplicated, which does not relate to the frequency of a routine.
