Question

select the correct answer.
what does the word navigable mean based on the context clues provided?
even though the road up the hillside contained several potholes, it was still navigable enough for sydney to drive to the top.
a. full of holes
b. capable of travel
c. unpassable
d. not dangerous

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "navigable", we analyze the context. The road had potholes but Sydney could still drive to the top. Option A ("full of holes") describes the potholes, not "navigable". Option C ("unpassable") contradicts the fact that Sydney drove up. Option D ("not dangerous") is not supported, as potholes don't mean the road is safe, but it was still passable. So "navigable" means the road was capable of being traveled on.

Answer:

B. capable of travel
