Choose the correct option to fill in the blank spaces in the given sentences.
Pipes are not a safer __________ to cigarettes because, though pipe smokers do not inhale, they are still __________ higher rates of lung and mouth cancers than non-smokers.
Explanation:
Since the sentence talks about pipes being used as a substitute for cigarettes, the appropriate word that would fit the blank is “alternative”.
For the second blank, ‘likely to higher rates’ is grammatically incorrect. So, eliminate option 1.
People being responsible for higher rates of lung and mouth cancers is absurd. So, eliminate option 2.
People cannot be involved with higher rates of lung and mouth cancers. So, eliminate option 4.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
