For this question, the missing word is defined in the sentence: metabolism is associated with more processes than just converting fat to energy. The correct answer will have a similar meaning to "associated". None of the incorrect answers support the idea of "associated"; Choice (C)-caviled (meaning to quibble or make unnecessary objections), Choice (D)distended (meaning to swell, to inflate, to bloat), Choice (E)-ensconced (meaning to fix or settle firmly), and Choice (F)abrogated (meaning to formally abolish) all do not fit within the scope of the sentence. The correct answers are Choice (A)-affiliated (meaning to associate) and Choice (B)-colligated (meaning to make a logical connection).
