Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. pressures.

  • The word  'pressures'  means 'a difficult situation that makes you feel worried or unhappy; to strongly persuade someone to do something they do not want to do'.
  • The given sentence talks about the ill-effects of work pressure and domestic pressure on Kajal.
  • So, in the given sentence, the word 'pressures' fits best.

Let's see the meaning of the other words:

  • Weights: to fasten something heavy to something.
  • Gravities: seriousness or importance, esp as a consequence of an action or opinion.
  • Forces: to make something happen or make someone do something difficult, unpleasant, or unusual, especially by threatening or not offering the possibility of choice.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3 i.e. pressures.
