Question

what is the meaning of the word treacherous as used below? use the synonym to help you determine its meaning. the poison garden in alnwick, england, may be the most treacherous garden in the world. the one hundred different plants in the garden all have one thing in common: they can kill you. because the garden is so dangerous, visitors arent allowed to touch, smell, or taste the plants. cautious hazardous serious

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "treacherous", we analyze the context. The garden has plants that can kill, and it's described as "dangerous". We then compare with the options: "cautious" relates to being careful (not the meaning of the garden), "serious" is about gravity (not fitting), while "hazardous" means dangerous or risky, matching the garden's nature (plants can kill, visitors restricted).

Answer:

B. hazardous (Note: Assuming the options are labeled, but as per the problem, the correct option is "hazardous" as it is a synonym for dangerous, fitting the context of the Poison Garden with deadly plants.)
