    E BBB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    1.       (a) 1- We need to replace PRODUCE with PRODUCES as the subject here is singular (WORLD). 2- We need to replace IRREGULARLY (in a way that is not even or balanced in shape or arrangement) with IRRATIONALLY (in an illogical or unreasonable manner). 3- We need to replace OBESE (overweight) with OBESITY (the state of being overweight) as the object of a preposition (OF) should be a noun and not an adjective. Since AAB is the correct combination, (a) is the right answer.
