Question

clearly, japans amphibian scientists are rallying to the call and doing what they can to keep the species ______.
options: averse, impertinent, extant, pallid

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each word's meaning:

• "averse" means having a strong dislike, which doesn't fit the context of keeping a species.
• "impertinent" means irrelevant or rude, not related to species preservation.
• "extant" means still in existence, which makes sense for scientists trying to keep a species existing.
• "pallid" means pale or lacking vitality, not relevant here.

Answer:

C. extant
