In the following passage, some of the words have been left out. Read the passage carefully and select the correct answer for the given blanks out of the given alternatives.
When we exercise, our muscles process insulin and absorb the resulting glucose as energy. Reduce that energy expenditure and your muscles will adapt physiologically to become a little less insulin sensitive, says John Thyfault, a researcher at the University of Kansas. Losing insulin sensitivity means your body converts sugar into fat rather than using it as energy to power your movements. And while that ___(1)___ helped our huntergatherer ancestors survive a feast-or-famine lifestyle, it’s bad news for the modern desk jockey, because improper regulation of insulin can ___(2)___ your cells to store some of what’s not used in muscle movement as fat. This change puts you at greater risk for the foundation of other conditions, such as Type 2 diabetes and inflammation. Thankfully, your body can adapt pretty quickly to increased insulin sensitivity with just a little bit of exercise and healthier eating. High-volume and high-intensity exercise can be equally effective at making your body more sensitive. Just a 30-minute walk or a ten-minute HIIT regimen a few times a week will ___(3)___ for keeping your body eagerly processing insulin. You’re going to get small and it’ll happen fast. The ___(4)___ gains you made from a lifting routine will ___(5)___ within a week of quitting the weights. But smaller doesn’t mean weaker.
Which of the following words fits the blank labelled as (2)?
Prompt
Elusive
Cavort
Diminish
Elope
- Option 1: Prompt: While this word means to cause or bring about, it doesn't quite fit the context of insulin causing cells to store fat.
- Option 2: Elusive: This means difficult to find or catch, which doesn't apply here.
- Option 3: Cavort: Refers to dancing or jumping around, unrelated to insulin or fat storage.
- Option 4: Diminish: This means to lower or reduce, which seems not to align with the context of cells storing fat.
- Option 5: Elope: Means to run away secretly, unrelated to the context.
The correct choice should reflect how improper insulin regulation causes cells to store fat. The word "prompt" could apply in causing a reaction.
