Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.
Loud fireworks also have an _____________ on glaciers.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. effect.
The correct word is "effect" because it is a noun that refers to the result or outcome of something.
In the sentence, the fireworks are causing an impact on glaciers, so "effect" is appropriate.
"Affect" is a verb, "effecting" is an incorrect verb form, and "affects" is also a verb, which doesn't fit the grammatical structure needed here.
