Question

1. read the sentence from paragraph 2 of passage 2. still, the basic concept is the same: these animals need different types of habitats at different times, and they need to be able move freely between them. the word habitat comes from the latin word habitare, which means “to live or dwell.” which phrase best matches the meaning of habitat as it is used in this sentence? a. the place where an animal sleeps most b. a sheltered area to establish a dwelling c. a location an animal travels to frequently d. the environment in which an animal lives

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "habitat", we use the Latin root "habitare" (to live/dwell) and the sentence context. The sentence says animals need different habitats at different times and to move between them. Option a focuses on sleeping, too narrow. Option b emphasizes a sheltered area for dwelling, but the context is about different environments over time. Option c is about frequent travel, not living. Option d matches "to live" as it refers to the animal's living environment, consistent with the root and context.

Answer:

d. the environment in which an animal lives
