Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.

When Mr. Bhanot was told a few years back that he needed to lose _____ or face health problems, he transformed his life with the _________ of a personal trainer.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. weight; help.

Context: The sentence talks about a person being advised to lose something for health reasons. The logical word is weight (not wait, patience, or money). To do this, he took the help of a personal trainer, which makes sense in context.

Meaning of the words:

  • wait; assistance – “wait” is incorrect, as one cannot 'lose wait.'

  • patience; guidance – losing patience does not fit health-related advice.

  • money; instructions – losing money is irrelevant to health.

  • weight; help – losing weight is directly linked to health, and taking help from a trainer makes perfect sense.

Correct words: weight; help

Final Sentence: When Mr. Bhanot was told a few years back that he needed to lose weight or face health problems, he transformed his life with the help of a personal trainer.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
