Answer & solution

Answer: Option D

The sentence says 'Most were first-time users of a tablet and a digital app.' 'Most' needs a group of people just before it.

Blank 4 comes right after 'We piloted Aage Badhein in early 2021 with over 400 women from rural areas.' 'Most' then refers to these 400 women. The next sentence – the solution 'generated a large amount of interest' – follows naturally.

Blanks 1, 2 and 3 come before any specific group of users is named.

Shortcut: find the antecedent. 'Most' needs a group of people, and the 400 women are the only group named.

Hence, the answer is option 4.
