Question

select the text from the paragraph that best helps you understand that deluge means flood. there may be more than one correct choice. its a summer night in new mexico. a great deluge has just swept over the desert landscape, creating ponds out of roadside ditches, once - empty watering holes, and playas. the conditions are now right for spadefoot toads to gather in these ponds and lay their eggs, all in a single night. as hundreds of male toads call for a mate, the normal stillness and silence of the desert is broken by the cacophony of their quack - like calls. by morning, up to 2,500 eggs may have been laid by each female.
