Question:

Complete the following collocation.

My younger brother does not _______ enough risks in life.

Options:

defend

take

face

make

Correct Answer:

take

Explanation:

The correct answer is take.

The collocation "take risks" means to do things that are dangerous or uncertain. It is often used to describe people who are adventurous or who are willing to try new things.

In the sentence, "My younger brother does not take enough risks in life," the speaker is saying that their younger brother is not adventurous or willing to try new things.

The other options are not as appropriate.

  • Defend means to protect or support something. This is not the right word to use in this context, as it does not make sense to say that someone does not defend enough risks in life.
  • Face means to confront something or someone. This is not the right word to use in this context, as it does not make sense to say that someone does not face enough risks in life.
  • Make means to create or produce something. This is not the right word to use in this context, as it does not make sense to say that someone does not make enough risks in life.
