Currently,  there  is  concern  about  the  increasing  amount  of  time  children  spend  in  sedentary  activities,  the  number  of  children  who  fail  to  achieve    daily  physical  activity  guidelines  (i.e.  60  min  of  moderate-to-vigorous  intensity  activities  every  day),  and  the  apparent  increase  in  obesity  prevalence  as  a  result  of  such  sedentary  .  Screen-based  activities,  including  television  viewing  and  playing  computer  games  are  among  the  most  frequently  observed  sedentary  activities  that  children  partake  with  children  spending  2.5–4  h  per  day  participating  in  such  activities.  The  introduction  of  active  video  games  (AVGs)  into  the  gaming  market  presents  an  opportunity  to  convert  traditional,  sedentary  screen-time  into  active  screen-time  and  thus  increase  total  daily  energy  expenditure  (EE).  Modern  AVGs  utilize  cameras  and  motion  sensors  to  allow  the  gamer  to  physically  perform  a  variety  of  actions,    on  the  console,  such  as  swinging  a  tennis  racquet  or  running.  The  most  demanding  AVGs  provided  similar  responses  to  walking  and,  based  on  international  standards,  should  be  classified  as  low-intensity  activities.  Whilst  AVGs  may  provide  children  with  a  better  alternative  to  sedentary  gaming,  they  are  not  a  sufficient    for  normal  physical  activity,  e.g.  sports  and  outdoor  play.

Correct answer: minimum

Explanation: The word 'minimum' fits grammatically as it serves as a noun that indicates the least amount required. In this context, it refers to the lowest level of daily physical activity that children should achieve according to guidelines.

Meaning: 'Minimum' refers to the least or smallest amount possible.

Wrong options:

  • enough: 'Enough' is an adjective that indicates sufficiency, but it does not specify a quantifiable amount like 'minimum' does.
  • decisions: 'Decisions' is a noun that refers to choices made, which does not relate to physical activity levels.
  • repetition: 'Repetition' is a noun that refers to the act of doing something again, which is irrelevant in the context of physical activity guidelines.
  • focusing: 'Focusing' is a gerund that refers to concentrating on something, which does not fit the context of activity levels.
  • behaviors: 'Behaviors' is a noun that refers to actions or conduct, which does not specify a level of physical activity.
  • dependent: 'Dependent' is an adjective that indicates reliance on something else, which does not fit the context of activity levels.
  • replacement: 'Replacement' is a noun that refers to something that takes the place of another, which does not fit the context of minimum activity levels.
Correct answer: behaviors

Explanation: The term 'behaviors' fits grammatically as a plural noun that refers to the actions or conduct of children regarding sedentary activities. It aligns with the context of discussing the consequences of inactivity.

Correct answer: dependent

Explanation: The word 'dependent' fits grammatically as an adjective that describes the actions that rely on the console. It aligns with the context of how the gaming experience varies based on the equipment used.

Meaning: 'Dependent' means relying on or conditioned by something else.

Wrong options:

  • enough: 'Enough' is an adjective that indicates sufficiency, which does not describe the relationship between actions and the console.
  • decisions: 'Decisions' is a noun that refers to choices made, which does not fit the context of actions related to gaming.
  • repetition: 'Repetition' is a noun that refers to the act of doing something again, which does not fit the context of actions dependent on the console.

  • minimum: 'Minimum' is a noun that refers to the least amount, which does not fit the context of dependency.

Correct answer: replacement

Explanation: The term 'replacement' fits grammatically as a noun that indicates something that serves as a substitute. In this context, it refers to the idea that AVGs cannot fully substitute for traditional physical activities.

Meaning: 'Replacement' refers to something that takes the place of another.

Wrong options:

  • enough: 'Enough' is an adjective that indicates sufficiency, which does not fit as it does not describe a substitute.
  • decisions: 'Decisions' is a noun that refers to choices made, which does not relate to the context of substituting activities.
  • repetition: 'Repetition' is a noun that refers to the act of doing something again, which does not fit the context of substitution.
  • focusing: 'Focusing' is a gerund that refers to concentrating on something, which does not describe a substitute for activities.
  • behaviors: 'Behaviors' is a noun that refers to actions, which does not fit the context of being a substitute.
  • minimum: 'Minimum' is a noun that refers to the least amount, which does not fit the context of substitution.
  • dependent: 'Dependent' is an adjective that indicates reliance on something else, which does not fit the context of being a substitute.
