Question

what does \mountainous\ mean?
options:
facts about mountains
parts of mountains
having many mountains
across from mountains

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "mountainous", we analyze the word structure. The suffix "-ous" often means "full of" or "having the quality of". So "mountainous" should relate to having mountains. "Facts about mountains" is about information, "parts of mountains" is about components, "across from mountains" is about location. "Having many mountains" fits the meaning of "mountainous" (e.g., a mountainous region has many mountains).

Answer:

C. having many mountains (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with A: facts about mountains, B: parts of mountains, C: having many mountains, D: across from mountains)
