Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. fast-paced.

Context: This blank is about describing the kind of lifestyle that is contributing to mental health issues. The sentence refers to an urban lifestyle leading to anxiety and depression, so the adjective should describe the stressful and hurried nature of such a lifestyle.

Analysis of the given options:

  • fast-paced: happening quickly or involving a lot of activity
  • cosmic: relating to the universe
  • rapidly: an adverb, not suitable here as we need an adjective
  • wilderness: a natural uninhabited area, irrelevant in this context

Correct word: fast-paced

Reason: It logically describes a stressful, hurried city life that can impact mental health.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
