Correct Answer: Believed, but


Solution : The correct answer is the first option: believed, but

In the past, there was a perception that being overweight was considered good for one's health. However, in contemporary times, very few individuals adhere to this belief. The conjunction " but " is used to denote the contrast between the two beliefs.

The correct sentence is "It was once believed that being overweight was healthy , but nowadays few people subscribe to this viewpoint".
