Set 2: Words in Context

Explanation

Answer: C

PASSAGE

The chameleon is famous for its ability to change color, a trait that helps it ______ into its surroundings and hide from predators.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

A. stand out
B. clash
C. blend✓ Correct
D. separate

Detailed Explanation

The text mentions hiding from predators. Changing color to match surroundings helps an animal 'blend' in.

Key Evidence:

• "change color"

• "into its surroundings"

• "hide from predators"

Why others are wrong: A (Standing out would make it easier to see, not hide.), B (Clashing means being visibly different/conflicting, which prevents hiding.), D (Separating doesn't fit the context of matching the environment.).
