Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:

The cold weather ______ his health; its _____ is a bad cold.

  • A.effects, affect
  • B.affects, affect
  • C.affects, effect
  • D.effected, affect

Answer: C

The correct pair is affects, effect.

Affect is normally a verb meaning to influence, so the first blank needs affects: the cold weather affects his health. Effect is normally a noun meaning a result, so the second blank, after its, needs effect: its effect is a bad cold.

The other options misuse the pair. Effects as a verb means to bring about, which does not fit, affect cannot follow its as the noun here, and effected is the wrong verb and tense.
