Question

select the word that means easy to reach. giant squid are well named: they are enormous. scientists measured one at almost forty - three feet in length. despite their large size, though, these gigantic creatures remain mysterious. although they swim in oceans around the world, they are not accessible subjects for study. giant squid live in cold, dark waters two or three thousand feet below the surface.

Explanation:

The question asks for a word meaning "easy to reach". From the passage, "accessible" is used in the context of the giant squid not being easy to study (since they live deep underwater), so the opposite context helps us see that "accessible" means easy to reach (in the sense of being reachable for study). So the word is "accessible".

Answer:

accessible
