Question

the iguazu falls, which lie on the border between argentina and brazil, are a popular and ______ tourist destination. the waterfalls have been visited by people from all over the world for over a century, and they are often cited as one of the most impressive natural wonders on earth. which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase? choose 1 answer: a fleeting b revered c obscure d precarious

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "fleeting" means short - lived, which doesn't fit as a tourist destination that's popular for over a century.
• "revered" means highly respected or admired. Given that Iguazu Falls are a natural wonder visited by people worldwide for over a century, "revered" logically describes the destination as one that is respected and admired.
• "obscure" means unknown or not well - known, but the text says it's popular and a natural wonder, so this is incorrect.
• "precarious" means dangerous or unstable, which has no relation to describing a tourist destination in this context.

Answer:

B. revered
