It’s important to understand what each blank needs: > **While Curcumin, which is an ______ found in turmeric** > → A noun that correctly identifies *what curcumin is*. > **helps to reduce ______** > → A medical condition that curcumin is scientifically known to reduce. > **extremely high doses of it can ______ headache and nausea.** > → A verb meaning *to cause or bring about* negative effects.

Eliminate incorrect options with the word fill-up that makes the whole option incorrect: | Option | Reason | | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **1. enzyme; abrasion; infuse** | Curcumin is **not an enzyme**, and *abrasion* refers to surface damage, not a condition curcumin reduces. | | **2. alkali; infection; promote** | Curcumin is **not an alkali**, and *promote* contradicts the idea of causing adverse side effects. | | **3. alchemy; injury; cause** | *Alchemy* is irrelevant and unscientific in this context, making the option invalid outright. |

Option 4 is correct as: **ingredient →** Curcumin is a natural component found in turmeric. **inflammation →** Curcumin is widely known for its anti-inflammatory properties. **induce →** Accurately conveys causing side effects like headache and nausea at high doses.

Final Answer: **ingredient; inflammation; induce**
