Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'popular'.
- The passage discusses the common tools and measures used by society to assess weight.
- The word should reflect the idea that BMI is widely known and commonly used.
- "Popular" fits well as it indicates something widely favored or well-known, which aligns with the context of BMI.
- Other options ("uncharted", "indistinct", "imprecise") do not fit the context of describing BMI accurately.
Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.
