Snoring cures usually involve clearing the blockage in the breathing passage. This is the reason snorers are advised to lose weight ____________. They are also advised to stop smoking (smoking weakens and clogs the throat), and to sleep on their side (to prevent the tongue from blocking the throat). But for many snorers those pieces of advice are not enough.

  • A.This stops fat from pressing on the throat
  • B.Surgery is the only option to cure snoring
  • C.Snoring is usually an involuntary act, but may also be produced voluntarily
  • D.Most of the time snoring is not a health risk to the snorer

Answer: B

Correct answer: This stops fat from pressing on the throat

Every piece of advice in the paragraph is followed by its reason, twice in brackets - stop smoking (smoking weakens and clogs the throat), sleep on your side (to prevent the tongue from blocking the throat). The blank follows the advice to lose weight, so it must give that reason, and this points back to the weight loss. Surgery is not mentioned anywhere in the paragraph, and the closing sentence says the advice is often not enough - not that surgery is the only cure.
