Our  studies,  showed  that  those  people  on  a  higher  protein  diet  lost  the  same  amount  of  weight  as  those  on  a  higher  carbohydrate  diet,  since  the  two  diets  offered  an    amount  of  kilojoules  and  the  same  amount  of  fat.  However,  body  composition  (that  is,  the  ratio  of  fat  to  muscle)  showed  greater  improvement  among  those  people  on  the  higher  protein  diet.  When  the  participants  in  our  studies  were  allowed  to  eat  until  they  were  no  longer  hungry,  those  on  the  higher  protein  diet  lost  more  weight  than  those  on  the  higher  carbohydrate  diet,  even  after  more  than  a  year.
The    in  hunger  and  the  beneficial  effect  on  muscle  provided  by  the  higher  protein  diet  is  mostly  related  to  its  protein  content.  The  diet  is  healthy  because  its  protein  comes  from  lean  red  meat,  fish,  chicken  and  low-fat  dairy  products,  all  of  which  provide  good  nutrition.  A  high-protein  diet  in  which  the  protein  comes  from  protein  powders  and  supplements  is  unlikely  to  be  healthy,  unless  the  supplements  are    with  vitamins  and  minerals.

Correct answer: equal

Explanation: The word 'equal' fits grammatically as it describes the amount of kilojoules provided by both diets, maintaining the sentence's structure and context. It indicates that both diets offer the same energy level, which is crucial for the comparison being made.

Meaning: 'Equal' means the same in quantity, size, degree, or value.

Wrong options:

  • doubted: 'Doubted' is a verb that does not fit grammatically in this context, as it does not describe a quantity or amount.
  • odd: 'Odd' is an adjective that suggests something unusual or strange, which does not apply to the context of comparing diets.
  • fortified: 'Fortified' is an adjective that refers to something enhanced with additional nutrients, which does not relate to the amount of kilojoules.
  • replication: 'Replication' is a noun that refers to the act of copying or reproducing, which does not fit the context of describing energy levels in diets.
Correct answer: reduction

Explanation: The term 'reduction' fits well as it describes the decrease in hunger experienced by participants on the higher protein diet. It aligns with the context of discussing the effects of the diet on hunger levels.

Meaning: 'Reduction' refers to the act of making something smaller or less in amount, degree, or size.

Wrong options:

  • doubted: 'Doubted' is a verb that does not fit in this context, as it does not relate to the concept of hunger or its decrease.
  • odd: 'Odd' is an adjective that does not pertain to the context of hunger and does not convey a decrease in any sense.
  • fortified: 'Fortified' is an adjective that refers to enhancing something with nutrients, which does not relate to the concept of hunger reduction.
  • replication: 'Replication' is a noun that refers to the act of copying, which does not fit the context of discussing hunger levels.
Correct answer: fortified

Explanation: The word 'fortified' is appropriate as it describes the supplements being enhanced with vitamins and minerals, which is essential for the healthiness of the diet. It fits grammatically and contextually, indicating that the supplements need to be enriched to be considered healthy.

Meaning: 'Fortified' means strengthened or enhanced with additional nutrients.

Wrong options:

  • doubted: 'Doubted' is a verb that does not fit grammatically or contextually, as it does not describe the state of the supplements.
  • odd: 'Odd' is an adjective that does not relate to the context of health or nutrition and does not describe the supplements appropriately.
  • reduction: 'Reduction' is a noun that refers to the act of making something smaller, which does not fit the context of describing the supplements.
  • replication: 'Replication' is a noun that refers to the act of copying, which does not apply to the context of enhancing supplements.
