Question

read the following dictionary entry. buttress ˈbʌtrɪs n. 1. biology: a horny projection from a horses hoof 2. botany: a thickened part of the base of a tree trunk 3. architecture: a structure projecting from a wall or building and helping to support it 4. geology: a vertical feature of a mountain or hill that projects beyond the main structure. which definition best matches the use of the word buttresses in paragraph 2 of game show audition? definition 1 definition 2 definition 3 definition 4

Explanation:

In architecture, a buttress is a structure projecting from a wall or building to support it. Without seeing the specific context in "Game - Show Audition" paragraph 2, based on the general understanding of the word's usage in an architectural - related sense (since the other definitions are from biology, botany, and geology which seem less likely without further context indicating those fields), the architectural definition is most probable.
