The correct answer is A. While any of these answers technically fit the sentence, only answer A persuades readers to eat tortillas.

The other answers say that tortillas can go along with nearly any meal. Answer A, however, says that not only can tortillas go along with nearly any meal -- tortillas enhance the meal. Answer A says that tortillas make every dish better.

Enhancing a meal is better than simply going with it. Therefore, Answer A is the most persuasive option.

Answer:

A. enhance

Explanation:

Enhance means to intensify, increase, or further improve the quality or value of something. As a consequence, considering the purpose of the paragraph is to cause someone to do something through reasoning or argument, enhance is the only word with a positive connotation that best fits the gap.

The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because they do not evoke a feeling of influencing someone to do something as well as enhance.
