Question:

Read the following passage and answer the question.

Are you always feeling tired? You're not alone. As of a matter of fact, over 40 million Americans experience sleep deprivation on a regular basis. You need an energy boost and a good detox can provide it.

A detox cuts out all unnatural and unhealthy substances like caffeine and sugar. This allows your body to remove toxins that drag you down throughout the day.

The body's organs can function at full capacity when you are not inundating them with chemicals. This alone boosts your metabolism and causes your body to work harder on your daily task and reduces its need to waste energy on bodily functions.

Everyone knows that a messy home is an unhealthy home. You always rid your kitchen of trash and provide a clean environment for your family to live in; however, many people neglect their own bodies when it comes to waste management. A detox can help internal body waste removal.

The colon is one of the most important organs in your body and its job is to help your body remove waste. Eating processed food over the years causes your colon to back up and become filled with waste. This back-up releases waste toxins and nasty bacteria into your body. With a detox you flush out your colon, allowing it to catch up and work properly.

Your liver is with you every time you need to burn fat and clean up the body. It's like a living sponge and soaks up all the toxins. By drinking plenty of water with your detox, you can remove a lot of fatty cells in your liver.

Find out a word from the above passage which means 'in excess'.

Options:

neglect

colon

inundating

capacity

Correct Answer:

inundating

Explanation:

The correct answer is: inundating.

The word "inundating" in the passage means providing an overwhelming amount of something. In the context of the passage, it refers to not overwhelming the body's organs with chemicals, allowing them to function at full capacity.

Here's why the other options are incorrect:

  • neglect: This refers to ignoring or failing to properly care for something, not implying excess.
  • colon: This is an organ in the digestive system and doesn't directly connect to the meaning of "in excess."
  • capacity: This refers to the maximum amount or degree that something can hold or contain, not exceeding that limit.
