    B Excess Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Assent Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Assent Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Explanation: "Assess" means to evaluate or measure something. Since the sentence talks about studying the impact of COVID-19 on food insecurity, "assess" is the most suitable word. Access – Means to obtain or reach something, which does not fit the context of evaluating the impact. Excess – Means an extra or surplus amount, which is unrelated to measuring food insecurity. Assent – Means agreement or approval, which does not fit the context of conducting a survey.
