question 4
read this sentence from the article:
you might ask yourself, \why would anyone want to live in a place where the temperature in winter plummets to -58 degrees fahrenheit (-50 degrees celsius)?\
which is the closest synonym for the word plummets?
a. hobbles
b. descends
c. fumbles
d. varies

Explanation:

In the sentence, "plummets" describes a sharp drop in temperature. "Descends" means to move or fall downward, which matches the meaning of a temperature drop.

Answer:

B. descends
