    1 uses the word AWARE to convey how we are becoming increasingly careful about what we eat due to rising obesity rates. 2 uses the word AWAKE to convey how she was unconscious. C can replace both words to convey the requisite meanings. Thus, (c) is the right answer. A, B and D will only fit in 1.
