The species showed _____ ability to adapt to changing environments.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A. remarkable✓ Correct
B. declining
C. no
D. limited
Detailed Answer Explanation
Choice A is the best answer. "Remarkable" is correct because it means "worthy of attention; extraordinary." The context clues in the passage indicate that this meaning best completes the sentence logically.
Why others are wrong: B ("Declining" means "decreasing," which doesn't fit the context.), C ("No" means "not any," which doesn't fit the context.), D ("Limited" means "restricted," which doesn't fit the context.).
