grabbing

Solution :

The correct answer is grabbing.


Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Analyze the context of the blank:
The sentence reads: "So the next time you think of (4)______ that burger, hotdog, pizza, samosa, kachori or even ice cream in a restaurant, eating joint or a party..."

2. Evaluate the options in context:

- grabbing: In casual English, "grabbing" food or a bite means buying, picking up, or consuming food quickly or eagerly. It perfectly fits the action of getting a burger, pizza, or hotdog.
- building: Means constructing something, which does not make sense for ordering or eating prepared food items like hotdogs or ice cream.
- turning: Does not form a meaningful expression with food items in this sentence.

3. Conclusion:
Therefore, grabbing is the most appropriate word to fill in blank (4).
