Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The noun 'job' requires an adjective word to explain the type of job. All the options given below are adjectives.

If a person sits at a place for a longer period of time or remains inactive, then he can be obese and have diabetes.

Option A - 'Detestable' means deserving intense dislike. Thus option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'Hard' means difficult. Thus option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'Irregular' means uneven or not regular. Thus option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'Sedentary' means tending to spend much time seated or to be inactive. Thus option D is incorrect.
