[Deleted User]

Read the paragraph, then choose the word that best completes the sentence. Malaria is a disease that infects millions of people each year in some parts of the world. In parts of Africa, Asia, and South America, some mosquitoes carry malaria. Infected mosquitoes can pass the disease on to people through bites. Symptoms of malaria can include chills, fever, headaches, and stomach pain. Scientists have determined that the odor of stinky feet can be used to attract and trap mosquitoes. This discovery could help scientists fight the spread of malaria. They are making traps that smell like feet. They hope the traps will attract and poison mosquitoes.

      The correct answer is A prevent.

      Explanation: The context of the paragraph discusses how scientists use foot odor to attract and trap mosquitoes, which can help reduce or stop the spread of malaria. The word “prevent” directly relates to stopping or minimizing the occurrences of malaria outbreaks. The other options—manufacture, evaluate, and identify—do not fit as closely with the goal of reducing disease spread.
