Fill in the blank with the correctly spelt word.
The insects displayed _______ behavior before migration.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Correct Answer: crepuscular
Explanation:
• The correctly spelt word is crepuscular, which means active, appearing, or occurring during twilight (dawn or dusk).
• A frequent spelling error is using 'e' instead of 'u' in the second syllable (crepescular) or doubling the 's' (crepusscular).
• Example: Fireflies and deer are mostly crepuscular creatures, emerging as the sun begins to set.
