Correct Answer: grown


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

In the sentence, the speaker is conveying that wheat is widely cultivated, but despite its widespread growth, the output is not large. Grown is the appropriate term to describe the cultivation or production of crops, making it the most fitting choice in this context.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Gross means total or entire.

  • Grilled refers to a method of cooking.

  • Groan means a low sound expressing pain or discomfort.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "Wheat is widely grown, but the output is not large."
