Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
The novel highlights the place of the endangered species in the rainforest.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. plight.
"Plight" refers to a difficult or dangerous situation, which fits well when discussing the endangered species in the context of the rainforest. It emphasizes the struggle or vulnerability of the species.
The other options are less suitable:
"Prowess" refers to skill or ability, which does not fit the context.
"Position" can refer to a place or location, but it doesn't capture the sense of struggle or danger as well as "plight."
"Perspective" refers to a point of view, which isn't appropriate in this context.
