my answers have to be B and D. i hope that i helped you
Although Mr. White had given in to Mrs. White's pleading to make a second wish on the monkey's paw to bring Herbert back, when he does not return immediately, Mr. White becomes suspicious. ... In an attempt to bring her deceased son back from the grave, she demands that her husband wish for Herbert to come back to life.
The choice "A" is correct. "am" and "is" do not make sense in the other sentences.
I hope this helps!

D. To highlight that a physical activity requires a body to use energy
The word expenditure in the excerpt is simply stating that the body uses energy during physical activity. It doesn't describe how much energy since that can be different depending on the level of physical activity. Because it doesn't include how much, options B and C are both wrong. Also, expenditure is not a type of activity, so this also eliminates A.
