    Question

    In the following sentence, there is a blank space. Below

    each such sentence, there are four options with one word each. Fill up the blank with the word that makes the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. These modern farmers believe that tribal ways can offer simple solutions to help ________ communities’ food supply in the face of climate change.
    A perceive Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B prefer Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C protest Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D protect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E prevent Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence talks about finding solutions to help communities deal with the challenges of climate change. The logical goal in this context would be to “protect” their food supply — to safeguard it against possible risks or threats.
    “Perceive” means to become aware of something — not suitable here.
    “Prefer” means to like one thing more than another — contextually irrelevant.
    “Protest” means to object or speak out against something — doesn’t fit the idea of supporting food supply.
    “Prevent” doesn’t work here because the sentence isn’t about stopping the food supply, but rather helping it survive or endure — hence, “protect” fits best.
