Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

Context: The sentence describes the function of blood vessels in the circulatory system, which is to transport blood to and from the heart.

Meaning of the words:

  • Carry: To hold and move something from one place to another.
  • Give: To hand over or provide something to someone.
  • Catch: To seize or take hold of something.
  • Clean: To remove dirt or impurities from something.

Correct word: Carry

Reason: Blood vessels transport (i.e., carry) blood throughout the body. 'Carry' accurately reflects the biological role of arteries and veins, unlike the other options which do not fit the context.

Hence the chosen option is correct.
