Question
Passage Since a diversified diet that meets all
nutritional requirements is difficult to provide, fortification of food is relied upon by many countries to prevent malnutrition. The World Health Organisation estimates that deficiency of key micronutrients such as iron, vitamin A and iodine together affects a third of the world’s population; in general, insufficient consumption of vitamins and minerals remains problematic. Viewed against the nutrition challenge India faces, processed foods with standards-based fortification can help advance overall health goals, starting with maternal health. It is imperative, for a start, to make iron-fortified food widely available, since iron deficiency contributes to 20% of maternal deaths and is associated with nearly half of all maternal deaths. The shadow of malnutrition extends to the children that women with anaemia give birth to. A paragraph has been provided. From the options given below, choose the sentence that continues the paragraph in the most appropriate way.Solution
The last sentence of the passage mentions the fact that the effects of malnutrition extend to the children of anemic women. "They often have low birth weight, are pre-term, and suffer from poor development and lower cognitive abilities." this sentence tells us in what way these effects are extended to the children. Hence it is the appropriate sentence to follow the passage.
