Question

read the excerpt from \justin lebo\.
when he got it home, he wheeled the junker into the garage and showed it proudly to his father. \will you help me fix it up?\ he asked. justin’s hobby was bike racing, a passion the two of them shared. their garage barely had room for the car anymore. it was more like a bike shop. tires and frames hung from hooks on the ceiling, and bike wrenches dangled from the walls.
based on the details in this excerpt, which word best describes the garage?
○ inviting
○ dangerous
○ cluttered
○ sparse

Explanation:

To determine the word that best describes the garage, we analyze the details: "Tires and frames hung from hooks on the ceiling, and bike wrenches dangled from the walls" and "barely had room for the car anymore" suggest a lot of items are present, making it messy or filled with things. "Cluttered" means filled with disorderly items, which matches. "Inviting" (welcoming) doesn't fit as the focus is on items filling space. "Dangerous" (posing risk) isn't supported. "Sparse" (scarce) is opposite, as the garage has many items.

Answer:

cluttered (the option corresponding to "cluttered")
