Question

Drag the word into the box that best completes the sentence.

Fresh fruit is a healthy ____ to candy or cookies for dessert.

alternative
comparison
addition
opposition

Answer 1

Answer:alternative

Step-by-step explanation:

I chose alternative because it looks better and sounds better in the sentence

Answer 2

alternative

Step-by-step explanation:

In this sentence, "alternative" best fits the blank because fresh fruit is being compared to cookies, but "fresh fruit is a healthy comparison to candy or cookies for dessert", is not grammatically correct, therefore "comparison" is not the correct answer.

To say that "fresh fruit is a healthy alternative to candy or cookies for desert", creates a true statement that properly compares fruit to candy/cookies, in a way that is grammatically correct.
