Question

1. the venus flytrap now grows in many parts of the world. originally, though, it only lived in north and south carolina. it likes to grow in swamps and bogs. unlike many swamp plants, it can also live in cooler temperatures. mild winters don’t bother flytraps. they can _________. a obey b shine c pause d survive

Explanation:

The text describes the Venus Flytrap's ability to live in different conditions like cooler temperatures and mild winters. The word that best fits the context is one related to living or existing in such conditions. "Survive" means to continue to live or exist, which is appropriate here as it emphasizes the plant's ability to endure these conditions. The other words "obey", "shine", and "pause" have no relation to the plant's living - ability context.

Answer:

D. survive
