Urban  planning  plays  a  pivotal  role  in  shaping  sustainable  cities.  By  incorporating  green  spaces,  planners  create  environments  that  not  only  enhance  ,  but  also  promote  biodiversity.  Effective  urban  planning  must  prioritise  pedestrian-friendly    options,  such  as  cycling  and  public  transit,  to  reduce  traffic  congestion  and  carbon  emissions.  Additionally,  the  development  of  mixed-use  spaces  allows  residents  to  live,  work,  and  play  in  proximity,  reducing  the  need  for  car-dependent  .  Embracing  these  strategies  ensures  that  cities  can  grow  in  a  way  that  is  both  economically  viable  and    to  the  environment.

Correct answer: wellness

Explanation: The word 'wellness' fits grammatically as a noun that complements the verb 'enhance.' It aligns contextually with the discussion of urban planning's role in creating healthier environments.

Meaning: Wellness refers to a state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal.

Wrong options:

  • extensive: The term 'extensive' is an adjective that describes something large in scope or range, which does not fit as it cannot be enhanced in this context.
  • transportation: 'Transportation' is a noun related to the movement of people or goods, which does not logically connect to enhancing health or well-being.
  • travel: 'Travel' is a noun that refers to the act of going from one place to another, which does not fit the context of enhancing health.
  • resilience: 'Resilience' is a noun that refers to the ability to recover from difficulties, which does not directly relate to enhancing health in this context.
  • compact: 'Compact' is an adjective that describes something closely packed together, which does not fit as it does not relate to wellness.
Correct answer: transportation

Explanation: The term 'transportation' is a noun that fits grammatically as it serves as the object of the verb 'prioritise.' It is contextually relevant as it refers to the means of moving people in urban planning.

Meaning: Transportation refers to the systems and methods used for moving people or goods from one place to another.

Wrong options:

  • wellness: 'Wellness' is a noun related to health, which does not fit as it does not pertain to options for moving people.
  • extensive: 'Extensive' is an adjective that does not fit as it does not describe a type of option for transportation.
  • travel: 'Travel' is a noun that refers to the act of going from one place to another, which does not fit as it does not describe the means of transportation.
  • resilience: 'Resilience' is a noun that refers to the ability to recover from difficulties, which does not relate to transportation options.
  • compact: 'Compact' is an adjective that describes something closely packed together, which does not fit as it does not describe transportation.
Correct answer: travel

Explanation: The word 'travel' fits grammatically as a noun that serves as the object of the preposition 'for.' It is contextually appropriate as it refers to the movement that urban planning aims to reduce.

Meaning: Travel refers to the act of going from one place to another, often implying a journey.

Wrong options:

  • wellness: 'Wellness' is a noun related to health, which does not fit as it does not pertain to the act of moving or travel.
  • extensive: 'Extensive' is an adjective that does not fit as it does not describe a type of movement or travel.
  • transportation: 'Transportation' is a noun that refers to the means of moving people or goods, which does not fit as it does not refer to the act of travel itself.
  • resilience: 'Resilience' is a noun that refers to the ability to recover from difficulties, which does not relate to the concept of travel.
  • compact: 'Compact' is an adjective that describes something closely packed together, which does not fit as it does not relate to travel.
Correct answer: beneficial

Explanation: The term 'beneficial' is an adjective that fits grammatically as it describes the noun 'way.' It is contextually relevant as it indicates the positive impact of urban planning on the environment.

Meaning: Beneficial means producing good results or helpful effects.

Wrong options:

  • wellness: 'Wellness' is a noun related to health, which does not fit as it does not describe the nature of the growth of cities.
  • extensive: 'Extensive' is an adjective that describes something large in scope or range, which does not fit as it does not convey a positive impact.
  • transportation: 'Transportation' is a noun that refers to the means of moving people or goods, which does not fit as it does not describe the outcome of urban planning.
  • travel: 'Travel' is a noun that refers to the act of going from one place to another, which does not fit as it does not describe the nature of urban growth.
  • compact: 'Compact' is an adjective that describes something closely packed together, which does not fit as it does not convey a positive impact.
