1.

Which of these words appropriately fits the blank labelled (D)?1). Sheen2). Artistic3). Ephemeral4). Sheer

Answer»

There is nothing ARTISTIC about the volume of research undertaken. The word artistic is an absurd adjective for the noun volume. Thus, we can eliminate option 2.

Ephemeral means lasting for a very short time. This is out of context and can be eliminated.

Sheen refers to a smooth shine or brightness (velvet has a slight sheen). This is, again, not an apt word to be used here.

Pertinent means relevant or applicable to a particular matter. This word is not pertinent (relevant) for the GIVEN context of the paragraph.

The word sheer is used to EMPHASIZE how very great, important, or POWERFUL something is. This word is a perfect adjective to INDICATE the massive amount of research undertaken to discuss the benefits of physical activity.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4
