Select the option which best fits the given blank/blanks. Being able to afford…

Explanation:

The correct word is necessitate, which means "to make necessary" or "to require." The sentence should read: "Being able to afford this luxury car will necessitate getting a better-paying job." This expresses that affording the car will require a higher-paying job.

• Why "necessitate" fits: it conveys the idea of causing something to be necessary (i.e., requiring a better-paying job).

• Why the other words do not fit:

• maximize: means to increase something to the greatest extent, not to make something necessary.

• recombinant: a term from genetics meaning combined genetic material; irrelevant to this context.

• reiterate: means to repeat something; it does not express requirement or necessity.

• Grammar note: "necessitate" can be followed by a gerund (e.g., "necessitate getting a better-paying job"), which is the correct structure in this sentence.
