Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

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:

OptionReason
1. enzyme; abrasion; infuseCurcumin is not an enzyme, and abrasion refers to surface damage, not a condition curcumin reduces.
2. alkali; infection; promoteCurcumin is not an alkali, and promote contradicts the idea of causing adverse side effects.
3. alchemy; injury; causeAlchemy 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.
