d) promenade

Answer 1

Hint: Just in case you are not able to recall the definitions of the four options given, you can start making sentences with each of them and check the most appropriate one.

Complete answer:
 The sentence/ phrase given to us in the question is ‘ a short walk, food pleasure or exercise’, to see which is the one word defined as above, we shall go through all the options one at a time.

Beginning with option ‘a’, we know that jog or jogging is running at a gentle pace, for the purpose of workouts or exercises only. A sentence example of this word would be:
‘He jogs five kilometers daily to stay fit.’

Looking at the second option, stroll, it is defined as ‘ walking in a leisurely manner’ it is used in a sentence like: ‘Let's go take a stroll down that lane.’

Option c, gallop, a noun, is defined as ‘the fastest pace of a horse or other quadruped, with all the feet off the ground together in each stride’ ‘Rambo- the healthiest horse went galloping into the woods’ is an example of the sentence.

And lastly, option d, promenade means ‘to take a leisurely public walk, ride, or drive so as to meet or be seen by others.’

With the above explanations, we can deduce that option b, stroll is the correct answer for the given question.

Note:
 It is very important to go through all the options before jumping on to the answer, a lot of students make this mistake.
