Cancer  is  a  large  group  of  diseases  that  can  start  in  almost  any  organ  or  tissue  of  the  body  when  abnormal  cells  grow  ,  go  beyond  their  usual  boundaries  to    adjoining  parts  of  the  body  and  spread  to  other  organs.  The  latter  process  is  called  metastasizing  and  is  a  major    of  death  from  cancer.

Correct answer: uncontrollably

Explanation: The adverb 'uncontrollably' describes how the abnormal cells grow, indicating a lack of control over their growth. This fits grammatically as it modifies the verb 'grow' and aligns with the context of cancer cell behavior.

Meaning: 'Uncontrollably' means in a manner that cannot be controlled or restrained.

Wrong options:

  • spiritually: 'Spiritually' is an adverb relating to the spirit or soul, which does not fit the context of cell growth.
  • seperate: 'Seperate' is a misspelling of 'separate,' which is an adjective or verb and does not appropriately modify 'grow.'
  • cause: 'Cause' is a noun that does not fit as it does not describe the manner of growth.
  • invade: 'Invade' is a verb that describes an action rather than the manner of growth, making it grammatically incorrect here.
  • component: 'Component' is a noun that does not fit as it does not describe how the cells grow.
Correct answer: invade

Explanation: The verb 'invade' indicates the action of the cancer cells moving into adjoining parts of the body. It fits grammatically as it follows the structure of the sentence and logically describes the behavior of cancer cells.

Meaning: 'Invade' means to enter a place or situation in large numbers, often causing harm or disruption.

Wrong options:

  • spiritually: 'Spiritually' does not fit as it does not describe an action related to physical invasion.
  • seperate: 'Seperate' is a misspelling of 'separate' and does not fit grammatically or contextually as it does not describe an action.
  • cause: 'Cause' is a noun and does not fit as it does not describe an action of the cells.
  • uncontrollably: 'Uncontrollably' is an adverb that describes how cells grow, not an action of invading, making it incorrect here.
  • component: 'Component' is a noun that does not describe an action and does not fit the context.
Correct answer: cause

Explanation: The noun 'cause' refers to the reason for something, in this case, the reason for death from cancer. It fits grammatically as it serves as the subject complement in the sentence, providing clarity to the statement.

Meaning: 'Cause' means the reason or factor that brings about an effect or result.

Wrong options:

  • spiritually: 'Spiritually' does not fit as it is an adverb relating to the spirit, not a reason for death.
  • seperate: 'Seperate' is a misspelling of 'separate' and does not fit as it does not relate to the concept of death or reasons.
  • invade: 'Invade' is a verb that does not fit as it does not describe a reason for death.
  • uncontrollably: 'Uncontrollably' is an adverb that describes how cells grow, not a reason for death, making it incorrect here.
  • component: 'Component' is a noun that does not relate to the reason for death and does not fit contextually.
