Answer: C

PASSAGE

The forest was so dense that the hikers could barely see the sky, creating a sense of ______ from the outside world.

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

A. connection
B. exposure
C. isolation✓ Correct
D. visibility

Detailed Explanation

Being deep in a dense forest where you can't see out creates a feeling of being alone or cut off. 'Isolation' means the state of being separated from others.

Key Evidence:

• "dense"

• "barely see"

• "from the outside world"

Why others are wrong: A (Connection is the opposite of being cut off.), B (Exposure implies being open/visible.), D (Visibility implies being able to see.).
