Complete the sentence: The charity run helped to raise ______ for the cause.

• A. funds
• B. donations
• C. awareness
• D. support

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is which noun naturally fits with raise in the context of a charity event. The typical aim of a charity run is to get people to know about the cause, so the common phrase is to raise awareness for the cause. Awareness works smoothly with the verb, giving a clear, natural impact of the event beyond money.

FundS and donations focus on money, and while a run can indeed generate funds or donations, the sentence’s flow and meaning are more naturally completed with awareness. Support can be phrased as well, but “raise awareness for the cause” is the most idiomatic and widely used collocation here.
