What would be the MOST effective substitution for the underlined part of sentence (5)?
A) any lighthouse
B) any home or house
C) any Coast Guard dock
D) any other vessel lit at night

Respuesta :

Answer:

I can see that there's no underlined part of sentence 5. I believe the underlined part is "any beacon."

The answer is : A) any lighthouse

Explanation:

Sentence 5 provides a "hint" by stating "erected on land." This means that the object is on land and not in the sea. Among the choices that is suitably related to the topic and erects on the land is the "lighthouse." So, instead of using the word "beacon," it can be replaced with "any lighthouse."

So, this explains the answer.
