Sub - question 1: What is the meaning of the underlined word "arid"?

To find the meaning of "arid", we analyze the context. The sentence says deserts are arid places because they get less than 10 inches of rain a year. From this context, we can infer that "arid" means a land or climate having little or no rain (or being very dry).

Looking at the definition box for "alert", we see that "alert" can be an adjective (adj) as in "quick to notice anything unusual or dangerous" and a verb as in "to warn someone of danger". So we circle "adj" and "verb" (and also the related definitions if needed, but the main parts of speech are adjective and verb).

A land or climate having little or no rain (or being very dry)
