Step by Step Written Solution
Hi Selen, let's solve this cloze test question together. We need to find the correct grammatical form to fill in the first blank of this paragraph about fungal infections.
Cloze Test – Question 11
Let's focus on the sentence containing the blank. It reads: These conditions are typically classified according to the part of the body blank.
> These conditions are typically classified according to the part of the body (11) ----.
We need to determine the relationship between the body part and the action of affecting. In this context, the body part is the one that is being acted upon by the infection.
Key Concept: Noun + Reduced Relative Clause
The full, unreduced form of this phrase would be something like: the part of the body that is affected. Since we are describing a general characteristic using a passive meaning, we look for a past participle.
When we reduce a passive relative clause in English, we simply use the past participle on its own.
Following this rule, affected is the correct past participle form of the verb to affect. Choice B provides exactly this.
