Correct Answer: ate


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

The sentence explores the link between adherence to the psychobiotic diet and stress levels. Ate fits well with the context of a diet study, indicating the action of consuming or ingesting psychobiotic foods.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Staked usually involves putting up a stake or a claim.

  • Eroded means to wear away or diminish gradually.

  • Raked involves using a rake to gather or collect.

Therefore, the correct answer is, ate.
