Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

Tropical forests have _________ greenery.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

 The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. lush.

 

Context:
Tropical forests are known for their thick and rich green plants. So the blank needs a word that shows full, healthy greenery.

Meaning of the words:

  • Exciting – Full of interest or thrill (doesn’t describe greenery)

  • Lush – Rich, thick, and healthy (perfect for greenery)

  • Thorny – Full of thorns or difficult

  • Withered – Dry and weak (opposite of green)

Correct word: Lush

Reason: Tropical forests are filled with lush greenery – meaning the plants are healthy, green, and growing well.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
