this squid is ______
a weak
b swift
c hungry
d unusual

Explanation:

The text describes the colossal squid as being larger than the giant squid, longer than a school bus, and being the largest squid species, with scientists still knowing little about it. Among the options, "unusual" (D) fits because its size and the lack of knowledge about it make it unusual. "Weak" (A) is incorrect as size doesn't imply weakness. "Swift" (B) isn't supported by the text. "Hungry" (C) has no relation to the description.

Answer:

D. unusual
