问题     A study of the physical activity habits of 4,563 adults found that those who said they did the most housework were also the largest. The findings challenge Public Health England and the World Health Organization’s endorsement of household chores (家庭杂务) as a【C1】________ contribution towards a recommended target of 150 minutes of physical activity a week.
    The study, carried out by Professor Marie Murphy and her colleagues at the University of Ulster, found that women and older people were particularly likely to list domestic physical activity as a significant【C2】________of their moderate to vigorous physical activity. But the study found that those who said they did the most were also the largest. Murphy said, "We found housework was inversely (相反地) 【C3】________to leanness, which suggests that either people are overestimating the amount of moderate-intensity physical activity they do through housework or are eating too much to【C4】________for the amount of activity undertaken. "
    Kevin Fenton, director of health and well-being at Public Health England, suggested the study could【C5】________evidence that some people thought they were healthier than they actually were. "At an individual level there may be a【C6】________to overestimate the level of ’ good behavior’ we’re doing and this is reflected when people use food diaries, pedometers (计步器) or Apps to measure more【C7】________what they have achieved. This study may reflect this," he said. But he【C8】________everyday tasks as genuinely useful. He added: "From an individual【C9】________, physical activities such as housework, doing the shopping and walking to collect children from school or to post a letter, can have positive【C10】________on physical and mental well-being.

选项
答案 D
解析 动词辨析题。分析句子结构可知，空格前面有主语宾语he，后面有宾语everyday tasks，故确定空格处应填入动词作谓语。全文时态都是一般过去时，因此空格处填入的动词也应该为动词的过去式。根据上文可知，人们倾向于高估“健康行为”。本句中But是对上文的转折，由此推测凯文认为做家务还是有作用的。因此。填入defended“为……辩解”符合句意要求。故为本题答案。
