Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct word is 'lose' (verb), meaning to get rid of or reduce weight. This tests the confusion between 'lose' (verb: to be deprived of or fail to keep) and 'loose' (adjective: not tight). In this context, you need the verb 'lose' because weight is being reduced, not described.
