Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.
Tropical diseases occur in a zone stretching ______ from 1,000 miles north of the equator to 1,000 miles south of the equator. Generally, ______ of their damage is done in poor, developing countries.
Answer: A
The pair is roughly, most. The sentence says that tropical diseases occur in a zone stretching roughly from 1,000 miles north to 1,000 miles south of the equator, where roughly means approximately, and that most of their damage is done in poor countries.
Right from, just from and around from do not fit with stretching in that way, and loads and major do not combine well with of their damage, since loads of needs a plural noun. The first pair is therefore the one that is both natural and exact.
