Correct answer: have

Explanation: The verb 'have' is used here to indicate possession of an endless list of factors. It fits grammatically as it aligns with the plural subject 'experts' and maintains the sentence's structure.

Meaning: 'Have' means to possess or own something, in this case, an endless list of factors.

Wrong options:

  • lack: The word 'lack' implies absence, which contradicts the context of possessing a list of factors.
  • order: 'Order' is a noun or verb that does not fit the context of possession and does not grammatically align with the subject.
  • with: 'With' is a preposition that does not convey possession and does not fit the grammatical structure here.
  • up: 'Up' is an adverb that does not relate to possession and does not fit grammatically in this context.
  • levels: 'Levels' is a noun that does not indicate possession and does not fit the grammatical structure.
Correct answer: to

Explanation: The preposition 'to' is used to indicate direction or intention, fitting grammatically and contextually as it leads into the infinitive verb 'believe.'

Meaning: 'To' is a preposition used to indicate direction or purpose, in this case, leading to the act of believing.

Wrong options:

  • have: 'Have' does not fit as it does not indicate direction or intention in this context.
  • lack: 'Lack' implies absence and does not convey the intended meaning of leading to belief.
  • order: 'Order' does not fit grammatically as it does not indicate direction or intention.
  • with: 'With' is a preposition that indicates accompaniment, which does not fit the context of leading to belief.
  • up: 'Up' does not convey direction or intention and does not fit grammatically.
Correct answer: with

Explanation: The preposition 'with' is used to indicate association or accompaniment, fitting grammatically as it connects the subject 'to suffer' with the phrase 'endless deadlines.'

Meaning: 'With' indicates association or accompaniment, in this case, suffering alongside endless deadlines.

Wrong options:

  • have: 'Have' does not fit as it does not indicate association or accompaniment in this context.
  • to: 'To' indicates direction or purpose, which does not fit the context of association with deadlines.
  • lack: 'Lack' implies absence and does not convey the intended meaning of association.
  • order: 'Order' does not fit grammatically as it does not indicate association or accompaniment.
  • up: 'Up' does not convey association and does not fit grammatically.
Correct answer: up

Explanation: The adverb 'up' is used here to indicate support or reinforcement of the preceding statement, fitting grammatically as it complements the verb 'back.'

Meaning: 'Up' in this context means to support or reinforce, indicating that the figures support the claim about stress being a killer.

Wrong options:

  • have: 'Have' does not fit as it does not indicate support or reinforcement in this context.
  • to: 'To' does not convey the meaning of support and does not fit grammatically with 'back.'
  • lack: 'Lack' implies absence and does not convey the intended meaning of supporting evidence.
  • order: 'Order' does not fit grammatically as it does not indicate support or reinforcement.
  • with: 'With' does not convey the intended meaning of support and does not fit grammatically.
