Đáp án A.

Tạm dịch: … Not only that, we can _______ vast amounts of information through reading in a very short time: … Không chỉ vậy, chúng ta có thể _______ một khối lượng lớn thông tin qua việc đọc trong một thời gian rất ngắn

A. digest: tiêu hóa, hiểu thấu

B. inhale: hít vào

C. breathe: hít thở
