Question

read this sentence from paragraph 9 of the selection. l6.4b
people fear things or situations that make them feel unsafe or unsure.
what does the word unsafe mean as used in this sentence?
① not certain
② in danger
③ guarded
④ misunderstood

Explanation:

The word "unsafe" is an adjective. When people feel "unsafe", it means they are in a state where they are at risk or in a situation that could cause harm. "In danger" is the most appropriate synonym among the options. "Not certain" is related to "unsure" in the sentence, not "unsafe". "Guarded" means protected or cautious, which is the opposite of "unsafe". "Misunderstood" means not understood correctly, which is not relevant to the meaning of "unsafe".

Answer:

B. In danger
