اهمیت
۰/۵
Since the journey is «..........», be sure to bring a first-aid kit.
پاسخ صحیح: گزینهٔ D — perilous
پاسخ تشریحی
Answer: option 4 — perilous.
The clause opens with since (= because), so the blank must give the reason for bringing a first-aid kit. A first-aid kit is needed when injury is likely, so the journey must be dangerous.
| Option | Meaning | Fits? |
|---|---|---|
| courageous | brave (describes a person or an act) | No — a journey is not "brave", and bravery is no reason for a first-aid kit |
| cautious | careful, avoiding risk (describes a person) | No — a journey cannot be "careful"; it is the traveller who should be cautious |
| enormous | extremely large | No — size does not explain the need for first aid, and "enormous journey" is not a natural collocation |
| perilous | full of danger, hazardous (from peril = serious danger) | Yes — a dangerous journey is exactly why you pack a first-aid kit |
So the sentence reads: Since the journey is perilous, be sure to bring a first-aid kit.
Exam trick: cautious is the trap — it belongs to the same "danger" theme, but it describes the careful person, not the risky thing. Check what noun the adjective modifies.
