Question

1. if you are committed to healthy, green living and want to reduce your environmental footprint, you might consider expanding your daily diet to include bugs. supporters of the edible insect initiative rightfully argue that farming insects has a much lower environmental impact than does raising livestock since bugs are easier to harvest and require a fraction of the water and land space that cattle need. indeed, the high - protein, low - fat health benefits of bug - eating have long been known. for hundreds of years, crickets, silkworms and even tarantulas have been served roasted, stewed and fried at the dinner tables of many cultures. in the first sentence, “expanding” most nearly means: a. intensifying b. broadening c. developing d. exaggerating

Explanation:

In the context of diet, "expanding" means making it more diverse or including more types of food. "Broadening" has a similar meaning of making something wider or more extensive. "Intensifying" implies increasing in strength or degree, "developing" is about growth or progress in a more general sense, and "exaggerating" means over - stating. So "broadening" is the closest in meaning to "expanding" here.

Answer:

B. broadening
