Question

question 3
read this sentence from the article:
the next time youre out in the rain or you go ice skating, take a moment to recognize that youre interacting with one of the weirdest and most amazing substances on earth.
in this sentence, the word interacting means ________.
a. leaving behind or departing
b. making contact or connecting
c. celebrating achievement
d. avoiding association

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "interacting" in the sentence, we analyze the context: being out in the rain or ice skating involves coming into contact with water (in different forms). Option A means leaving, which doesn't fit. Option C is about celebrating, irrelevant. Option D means avoiding, opposite of the context. Option B, "making contact or connecting", matches the idea of interacting with a substance (like rain or ice) by being in contact with it.

Answer:

B. making contact or connecting
