Question

Unhygienic surroundings ______ health problems.

• A. give rise to
• B. call for
• C. call off
• D. set in

Answer 1

Answer:

A. give rise to

• Give rise to → means to cause something to happen. Unhygienic surroundings cause health problems — this fits perfectly.

• Call for → means to demand or require something (e.g., The situation calls for action).

• Call off → means to cancel something (e.g., call off the meeting).

• Set in → means to begin and likely continue (e.g., Winter has set in), but it doesn't take a direct object like "health problems" naturally here.
