About 30% to 40% of American adults have a condition that has no visible signs and rarely causes symptoms, but can raise the risk of heart disease, diabetes, cirrhosis and liver cancer. It’s called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. And as American waistlines continue to expand, the prevalence of this dangerous condition is growing as well. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD, is an umbrella term. Most people with NAFLD have what’s known as simple fatty liver, which means that more than 5% of the liver is made up of fat cells. (Fat in the liver can also be a product of heavy alcohol use, which is known as alcoholic fatty liver disease.) Like fat accumulation in the rest of the body, this condition is often related to obesity, poor diet and sedentary lifestyle. Excess weight also seems to make genetic risk factors worse. A recent study published in Nature Genetics found that people with a high-risk variant of the PNPLA3 gene were much more likely to have fatty liver disease if they were obese than if they were thin. People with simple fatty liver don’t have inflammation or scarring in their liver and don’t appear to be at high risk for liver complications. But the condition affects insulin sensitivity and puts people at higher risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

請觀察文章第三段提到的健康危機成因：除了「飲食習慣」之外，作者還提到了另一種與「運動量」相反的生活狀態。如果你要形容一個整天坐在辦公桌前或沙發上、幾乎沒有身體位移的生活方式，你會用什麼樣的詞彙來描述這種「固定不動」的狀態呢？

詞彙精準度與上下文推論
太棒了！你能精準選出 (E)，代表你對上下文的語境掌握得非常紮實。在文章第三段中，sedentary 與肥胖（obesity）及不良飲食（poor diet）並列，用來描述現代人常見的不良生活型態。這個字源自拉丁文字根 sed-（坐），在生理學中指的就是「久坐的」或「缺乏活動的」。選項 (E) stationary 意為「靜止的、不移動的」，在描述「狀態固定且不活躍」的層面上，是此處最貼切的同義詞。
