Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

Dinosaurs are an ________ species now.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. extinct.

Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options:-

  1. extinct- (used about a type of animal, plant, etc.) no longer existing.
  2. age-old- that has existed for a very long time.
  3. antique- very old and therefore unusual and valuable.
  4. ancient- belonging to a period of history that is thousands of years in the past.

"Extinct" which means "(used about a type of animal, plant, etc.) no longer existing" fits in the context appropriately.

Hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

Dinosaurs are an extinct species now.
