Which of these words appropriately fits the blank labelled (I)?1). Laurels2). Impasse3). Litigation4). Blunder

Answer»

Let US look into the meaning of the given words:

LAURELS - honours that you receive for something

Impasse - a situation in which no progress can be made

Litigation - a legal proceeding in a court

Blunder - an embarrassing mistake

Headway -to make progress or get CLOSER to achieving something

The SENTENCE clearly talks about the progress that the researchers are making in identifying the particular genes that MAY influence how we respond to physical exertion.

Thus, the word blunder is eliminated as it will convey the opposite meaning.

The correct word to be used here is headway.

Therefore, the proper fit for blank (I) is option 5.
