Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

  • The blank in the given passage requires a noun that appropriately fits in the context of taking a break from looking at a lit screen.
  • The sentence is advising the reader to give their eyes a break from the continuous and intense visual stimulation of a lit screen.
  • The word "stimulations" refers to the various inputs that are presented to the eyes while staring at a screen, such as bright colors, moving images, and small text.

Therefore, the correct sentence is:

"Allow your eyes to relax and take a break from the stimulations of a lit screen."
