      Question

      In the given question, there is a passage followed by

      five options. Choose the option which is an inference that can be drawn from the given passage. Stroke is one of the most common causes of disability and poor quality of life. Patients who are elderly have a higher chance of death, lower functional results, and longer hospital stays. Losing as little as 10 pounds can have a real impact on stroke risk. Exercise contributes to losing weight and lowering blood pressure, but it also stands on its own as an independent stroke risk reducer. Having high blood sugar damages blood vessels over time, making clots more likely to form inside them.
