Question

which best defines tremendous as it is used in paragraph two?
\...but i warn you that it will have to be a tremendous place\
a excellent
b incredible
c intense
d massive

Explanation:

In the context of the story, the place needs to accommodate a large amount of water (as more and more water keeps coming in). "Tremendous" here implies a large - scale or huge size. "Massive" means large and bulky, which fits the context. "Excellent" means very good in quality; "incredible" means hard to believe; "intense" means having a strong effect. None of these other options fit the context of a large - sized place as well as "massive".

Answer:

D. massive
