Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank number (3).
Option 1: shape
Option 2: audio
Option 3: colour

Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Swelling may cause affected joints to change in size or appearance, and the term shape accurately describes the external form or appearance of the joints.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Audio: It refers to sound.
- Colour: The sentence describes the physical changes in the appearance or form of joints, not their colour.
- Odour: It refers to smell, which does not apply to the visual changes in the appearance of joints. It is not relevant in the context of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct word is shape.
