    Question

    Fill in the blanks: Prolonged exposure to high

    altitudes can _______ changes in the body’s physiology due to the _______ of oxygen.
    A instigate, abundance Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B induce, scarcity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C evoke, excess Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D trigger, surplus Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    "Induce" means to cause or bring about a particular effect, which fits well in the context of physiological changes."Scarcity" accurately describes the lack of oxygen at high altitudes."Prolonged exposure to high altitudes can induce changes in the body’s physiology due to the scarcity of oxygen.""Instigate, abundance" is illogical as high altitudes are known for reduced oxygen, not abundance."Evoke, excess" and "Trigger, surplus" are unsuitable since the effects are due to a lack of oxygen, not an excess.
