Wheat is widely ______ but the output is not large.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is grown.
The word grown means to have developed or increased in size or extent. In this case, wheat is widely grown but the output is not large. This means that wheat is cultivated in many places, but the amount of wheat produced is not very high. The other words in the options do not have the same meaning.
- Gross means to be large in size or amount.
- Grilled means to cook something by exposing it to direct heat.
- Groan means to make a deep, prolonged sound of pain or suffering.
