The most appropriate option to complete the sentence "He............be fat, but he still runs fast" is "may". The word "may" suggests a possibility, and in this sentence, it suggests that despite being fat, the person is still able to run fast. The word "could" is used to express the past tense of "can" and suggests an ability that may or may not have been exercised in the past. The word "might" suggests a possibility, but with less certainty than "may". The word "can" suggests an ability in the present time, but it does not match the sentence structure, which suggests that being fat should have an impact on the person's ability to run. Therefore, the most appropriate option to complete the sentence is "may", which suggests that it is possible for the person to run fast despite being fat.

Option A ("after a very tough fight") is not the best interpretation because "hands down" suggests the opposite of a tough fight. Option B ("only narrowly") is also not the best interpretation because "hands down" suggests a clear victory, not a narrow one. Option C ("without using his hands") is not the best interpretation because it is not related to the idiom "hands down" and does not make sense in the context of a boxing match. Therefore, the correct answer is D ("very easily").

Option B suggests that the time elapsed is one year minus a day, which is less than one year ago. Option C suggests that the time elapsed is one year and one day, which is more than one year ago. Option D is too vague and does not specify the exact time frame.
