Try to lower the amount of fat in your diet
(Underlined part: 'lower the amount')
(Underlined part: 'lower the amount')
- Lose
- No improvement
- Cut
- Reduce
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - No improvement
The underlined part is the whole phrase 'lower the amount'. Replacing it with Lose, Cut or Reduce gives e.g. 'Try to reduce of fat in your diet', which is ungrammatical; the original 'Try to lower the amount of fat in your diet' is already correct, so 'No improvement'.
