Correct Answer: cause


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The word "cause" is a more appropriate and direct choice to convey the idea that impending natural disasters are the reason for the constant worry. It provides a clearer and more concise expression of the cause-and-effect relationship in the sentence. The original sentence is grammatically correct, but "cause" enhances clarity and readability.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: Impending natural disasters cause us constant worry.
