Select the most appropriate answer for blank number 2.

Accepted Answer

The sentence describes the Human Development Index (HDI) as a summary measure that includes various aspects such as living a long and healthy life, being informed, and having a good quality of living. The word needed in blank 2 should logically connect the summary to these aspects. 'Including' is the most appropriate choice because it means that the summary encompasses or contains these important areas. Other options like 'segregating' (separating), 'exaggerating' (overstating), and 'manifesting' (showing) do not fit the context of describing what the HDI summary consists of.
