Living  in  cities  that  never  sleep  has  its  price:  inhabitants  are  getting  less,    quality,  sleep.  We  cannot  forget  that  sleep,  though  often  undervalued,  is  a    part  of  staying  in  good  health.  It  is  well    that  if  we  don’t  get  enough,  we  end  up  getting  sick.

Correct answer: worse

Explanation: The word 'worse' is an adjective that describes a comparative state of quality, fitting grammatically as it modifies 'quality' in the context of sleep. It indicates a decline in the quality of sleep, which aligns with the sentiment of the sentence.

Meaning: 'Worse' refers to a lower quality or condition compared to something else, in this case, the quality of sleep.

Wrong options:

  • impressed: 'Impressed' is an adjective that describes a feeling of admiration, which does not relate to the quality of sleep and does not fit grammatically in this context.
  • fundamental: 'Fundamental' is an adjective that means essential or basic, which does not fit as it does not describe a comparative state of quality.
  • massive: 'Massive' is an adjective that describes something very large or heavy, which is unrelated to the quality of sleep and does not fit the context.
  • established: 'Established' is an adjective that means recognized or accepted, which does not describe the quality of sleep and is not appropriate here.
  • regulated: 'Regulated' is an adjective that means controlled or governed, which does not fit the context of describing the quality of sleep.
Correct answer: fundamental

Explanation: The term 'fundamental' is an adjective that indicates something is essential or foundational. It fits grammatically and contextually as it describes the importance of sleep in relation to good health.

Meaning: 'Fundamental' refers to something that is essential or necessary for something to function properly.

Wrong options:

  • impressed: 'Impressed' does not fit as it describes a feeling rather than a quality or characteristic of sleep.
  • worse: 'Worse' is a comparative adjective that does not convey the essential nature of sleep and is not appropriate in this context.
  • massive: 'Massive' describes size rather than importance, making it unsuitable to describe sleep's role in health.
  • established: 'Established' refers to something that is recognized or accepted, which does not convey the essential nature of sleep.
  • regulated: 'Regulated' implies control or management, which does not relate to the fundamental nature of sleep.
Correct answer: established

Explanation: The word 'established' is an adjective that indicates something is recognized or accepted as true. It fits grammatically as it describes the state of knowledge regarding the importance of sleep for health.

Meaning: 'Established' means recognized or accepted as a fact or principle.

Wrong options:

  • impressed: 'Impressed' does not fit as it describes a feeling rather than a state of knowledge or fact.
  • worse: 'Worse' does not fit as it does not convey a state of recognition or acceptance regarding sleep's importance.
  • fundamental: 'Fundamental' describes something essential but does not fit grammatically in the context of stating a recognized fact.
  • massive: 'Massive' describes size and does not relate to the recognition of knowledge about sleep.
  • regulated: 'Regulated' implies control, which does not fit the context of establishing knowledge about sleep.
