Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. plan.

The sentence is:
'...and it gives you time to (4)_____ your day.'

The phrase 'plan your day' is a common and logical expression. It means organizing or preparing for the day's tasks, which fits well in the context of a morning walk helping start the day positively.

Why the other options are incorrect:
Option 1: forget –
doesn’t make sense; forgetting your day isn’t logical here.

Option 3: break – grammatically and logically awkward.

Option 4: ruin – opposite of what’s intended in a positive, health-focused passage.
