Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Asanas, or yoga postures, primarily serve as a lubrication practice for the body's joints, muscles, ligaments, and other parts, _________ circulation and flexibility.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

  • The correct choice is boosting because the sentence highlights the positive effects of yoga postures, which are intended to improve circulation and flexibility.
  • "Boosting" means increasing or enhancing, fitting the context perfectly.
  • The other options—abating (reducing), retrenching (cutting back), and dwindling (decreasing)—imply a reduction, which doesn't align with the benefits being described.
  • Thus, boosting is the most appropriate option.
