Certainly! Let's break down the question step by step and fill in the blank using the word bank provided.

  1. Understanding the context: The question is about how people can participate in hot dog eating contests without experiencing a certain negative effect that the speaker experiences after eating a single hot dog.

  2. Identifying the negative effect: The speaker mentions that eating a single hot dog gives them gas, which is a digestive issue.

  3. Matching the word bank to the context: We need to find a word from the word bank that relates to a digestive issue or discomfort.

  4. Word bank analysis:

    • Euphoria: A feeling of intense happiness or excitement.
    • Dysphoria: A state of unease or generalized dissatisfaction.
    • Euphemism: A mild or indirect word substituted for one considered too harsh or blunt.
    • Sonorous: Capable of producing a deep or ringing sound.
    • Dyspepsia: Indigestion or discomfort in the upper abdomen.
    • Dystopian: Relating to an imagined state or society where there is great suffering or injustice.
    • Tumult: A loud, confused noise, especially one caused by a large mass of people.
    • Gadfly: A person who annoys others, especially by persistent criticism.

    • Dysfunctional: Not operating normally or properly.
    • Euthanasia: The painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease.
    • Discordant: Disagreeing or incongruous.
  5. Selecting the appropriate word: The word "dyspepsia" fits the context as it refers to indigestion, which aligns with the speaker's experience of getting gas after eating a hot dog.

  6. Constructing the sentence: "How can people participate in hot dog eating contests without getting dyspepsia? Even eating a single hot dog gives me gas! Maybe it's the onions . . ."

So, the completed sentence is: "How can people participate in hot dog eating contests without getting dyspepsia? Even eating a single hot dog gives me gas! Maybe it's the onions . . ."

Competitive eating, or speed eating, is a sport that is all about food. Success in the sport requires efficiency, which is a combination of capacity — eating a lot of food — and speed-eating it fast. Contests are typically eight to 10 minutes long, with the person consuming the most food declared the winner. Current professional eating contests can offer $10,000 or more in prize money. Traditionally, eating contests (usually involving children eating pies) were county fair events. The recent rise in popularity of competitive eating is largely due to the growth over almost 100 years of the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, an annual Independence Day tradition at Coney Island, New York. The event generates enormous media attention and has been aired on major sports channels. Many commentators believe the Nathan’s contest has had a direct impact on the development of competitive eating as a sport. Surprisingly, restaurant hosts don’t always make a lot of money on contest days, as contestants tend to eat more food than their entry fee would purchase. Money is only part of the reason that contests primarily use fast food, though. “Restaurants would go out of business with a steak eating contest,” says Peter “Wingman” McDermott, prize-winning speed eater. “Hot dogs and wings are familiar and don’t break the bank.” But what is it that motivates contestants like Peter to eat those hot dogs and wings? “A lot of speed eaters I know were never big athletes in high school and are just looking for a really fast way to get on TV. I started out that way,” he said. “But now I definitely make sure to stay healthy. This isn’t something an unhealthy person wants to start doing.” McDermott appreciates that he can have a life outside his “sport,” as “the competition is over almost as soon as it started. Eaters can compete and still have most of their day left.” Speed eating is increasingly regulated by the kinds of organizations familiar in much bigger sports, like football and hockey. The International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) hosts more than 100 "Major League Eating" (MLE) events worldwide each year and first established eating as a sport in the 1990s. IFOCE licenses MLE t-shirts and other products and features the most current videos of contests and competitors. IFOCE is also the only organization with extensive safety regulations for events. A smaller organized league, the Association of Independent Competitive Eaters (AICE), established by competitive eater Arnie "Chowhound" Chapman, also holds contests. Chapman was a former IFOCE member who left to form an independent league after disputes over IFOCE contracts. Question The passage suggests that which two of the following statements are true about restaurants involved in competitive eating contests? They make a lot of money during the contest. They invest a substantial amount of money in sponsoring the contests. They want to showcase their particular menu choices. They want to increase public awareness of their brand name. They must be approved by an international sports organization.

Warburton and colleagues (2005) conducted a study in which participants were ostracised or not, and then were given the opportunity to add hot sauce to a burger that a stranger would have to eat. All participants knew that the stranger did not like spicy food. How much hot sauce did the ostracised participants add? They added the same amount of hot sauce to the stranger's burger as the participants who were ostracised. They added twice the amount of hot sauce to the stranger's burger than the participants who were not ostracised They added four times more hot sauce to the stranger's burger than the participants who were not ostracised, even when the stranger was not the person who had ostracised them. They added four times more hot sauce to the stranger's burger than the participants who were not ostracised, but only when the stranger was the person who had ostracised them.
