Question

Spending on consumer health is increasing globally, with a focus on preventive measures and wellness campaigns. Demographics and consumer lifestyles are two forces shaping the industry. For instance, the aging global population is leading to more elderly consumers with specific health needs. Urbanization is also a force; as consumers become busier, self-medication becomes a popular alternative to doctor visits. Stephanie Prymas, Consumer Health Research Analyst at Euromonitor, gives a detailed overview of the consumer health industry in this podcast.

Answer 2

Alternativa C.

A frase ''consumers become busier'' significa ''consumidores se tornando mais ocupados''.

Nesse contexto, é correto afirmar que a palavra ''busier'' pode ser substituída por ''more active''.

Para fazer a substituição de um termo por outro em uma frase devemos procurar palavras que tenham o mesmo significado, sejam sinônimas. Sendo assim, ''busier'', que significa ''ocupado'' tem o mesmo sentido de ''more active'' que significa ''com mais atividades'' ou ''mais ativo''.
