    But a new study hints that being lean doesn’t get you【C3】_____off the health hook either.

Getting【C19】_____checkups,  regardless of your weight, she says, may help more people to【C20】_____healthy and avoid diabetes and heart problems. [br] 【C16】
选项 A、advisable
B、portable
C、vertical
D、visible
答案 D
解析 形容词辨析题。根据文意，一个人的胖瘦我们可以通过肉眼观察，知道其脂肪的多少．但是处于内脏中的脂肪却无法直接判断多少。所以此处描述皮下脂肪时．使用visible，“看得见的”，形成对比。
