Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct answer is the third option.

"Reduce" implies a conscious effort to decrease the amount of fat, which fits the context better.

"Cut" could imply a sudden or drastic reduction, while "lose" is generally associated with weight loss rather than managing dietary fat.

Therefore, the correct statement should be: "Try to reduce the amount of fat in your diet."
