question 6
the article says:
the trash shows that ancient hebrews ate a lot
of the same foods we eat today. that includes
locusts. they’re still a favorite in some places.
in this passage, the word favorite means ______.
a. something that is well - liked
b. something that is very sweet
c. something that is very salty
d. something that is off - limits

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "favorite", we analyze the context. The passage says locusts were eaten by ancient Hebrews and are still a favorite in some places. Option A ("something that is well - liked") fits as people liking to eat locusts in some places implies they are well - liked. Option B is incorrect as there's no indication locusts are sweet (they are described as sweet and crunchy as a snack, but "favorite" here refers to popularity, not taste). Option C is wrong as there's no mention of saltiness. Option D is opposite, as locusts were eaten, not off - limits.

Answer:

A. something that is well - liked
