A Correct answer
Explanation

'Access' means a way or means of approaching. 'Excess' means too much. So, 'access' is the correct answer. 'Adduced' means to give as an example or proof. 'Deduced' is to reason out or conclude. As per context, 'adduced' is the correct answer as support to thesis is given in the second part of the sentence. 'Bawled' means to shout or call out noisily. 'Bald' means having no hair. You go bald, but a child bawls when it does not get its food, toy, etc. 'Choleric' means irritable/angry. 'Calories' means the energy produced in the body. So, 'calories' is the correct answer.
