Question

read the passage and then answer the question.

many animals hibernate during the winter. but they dont all hibernate in the same way.
chipmunks, for example, store food safely underground at the end of the fall. when
winter comes, chipmunks enter a deep sleep. every few days, they wake up and get food
from their underground caches. then they eat and go back to sleep. bears, on the other
hand, live off their fat during the winter. they usually dont eat or drink until hibernation
ends in the spring.

what is the meaning of caches as used in the passage?

places to sleep

ovens

hiding places

grocery stores

Explanation:

The passage says chipmunks store food underground. "Caches" here refers to where they store food. "Grocery stores" (places to store food) makes sense. "Places to sleep" is wrong as it's about food storage. "Ovens" (for cooking) and "hiding places" (for hiding, not storing food) are also incorrect.

Answer:

grocery stores
