For me, after reading the entire question, the fastest way to get to the answer was to connect "fewer than half" in the "Statement to be completed" with the data point "Most did not report any daytime fatigue".

Of the four datapoints, this is the only statement that directly gives us information about "fewer than half". Hence, this was the first thing I checked.

The rest was just careful reading:
Quote:
Among those who reported seasonal allergies:
  • Most did not report any daytime fatigue.
Statement: According to the researcher, fewer than half of the survey respondents who reported _____1____ also reported ___2___ .

So, clearly Blank 1 refers to "those who reported seasonal allergies" and Blank 2 refers to "those who reported daytime fatigue".


Hope this helps.
Happy learning!

WHy not sedentary lifestyle?
KarishmaB

Focus on the sentence to be completed:

According to the researcher, fewer than half of the survey respondents who reported 1 also reported 2 .

"fewer than half" means most did not report this. I have only one thing regarding "most did not report this."

It is:
Among those who reported seasonal allergies:
  • Most did not report any daytime fatigue.
So I know that among the respondents who reported seasonal allergies, fewer than half reported daytime fatigue (most said that they did not have any daytime fatigue).

ANSWER:
1 - seasonal allergies
2 - daytime fatigue

A sedentary lifestyle cannot be chosen because the passage says most allergy reporters have a sedentary lifestyle, which is the opposite of fewer than half.
