heavy set with material ______ will have a lot

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Possession.

  • The sentence says that people will be in trouble. A person can be in trouble only when good things are taken away. So, 'burden' cannot be the appropriate word.
  • 'Possession' means 'property' which makes the sentence coherent.
