Question

The given sentence with blanks is to be filled in with appropriate and suitable words. Four alternatives are suggested for each question. Choose the correct alternative out of the four.

It sounds _______ that if a low carb diet can prevent a second heart attack from occurring, it should also be able to the _______ first occurrence.

• A. realistic; disintegrate
• B. logical; allay
• C. fascinating; foment
• D. rational; alienate

Answer 1

The correct option is B logical; allay

Any of options, other than option C, seem probable answers for the first blank.
However, "allay" is the only word synonymous with "prevent" that can fit the second blank.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
