Question

compact adjective packed closely together
about eight percent of the skeletal system consists of compact bone; the remaining twenty percent is spongy bone, which is lighter and less dense.
after years of conflict, the signing of the compact instilled hope for peace in the citizens of both nations.

Explanation:

To determine which text uses "compact" as "packed closely together", we analyze both options:

• First text: "compact bone" is compared to "spongy bone" (lighter, less dense), so "compact" here means dense/packed closely (matches the definition).
• Second text: "compact" is a noun (a treaty/agreement), not the adjective meaning.

Answer:

About eight percent of the skeletal system consists of compact bone; the remaining twenty percent is spongy bone, which is lighter and less dense.
