Question

Choose the option that best fills in the blank in the given sentence to complete it logically and correctly.

According to his _____ hypothesis, the measles part of the vaccine had caused serious inflammation of the gut, allowing harmful proteins to leak from there into the bloodstream and then to the brain, where they damaged neurons in a way that triggered autism.

• A. Convoluted
• B. Flaky
• C. Berserk
• D. Platonic

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Convoluted

The most appropriate word to describe the hypothesis is 'convoluted' which means extremely complex or difficult to follow; 'flaky' means breaking or separating in flakes; 'berserk' means out of control with anger or excitement; 'platonic' means purely spiritual and free from sensual desire.

So, the correct answer is A) convoluted. This is evident from the complex steps described in the later part of the sentence.
