Question

which of these is most likely to be the dictionary definition of sun?

a. a large object in outer space

b. a round, yellow object

c. a bright light in the sky

d. the star that earth orbits

Explanation:

A dictionary definition should be precise and specific to the term. Option A is too vague (many objects in space). Option B describes appearance but not the unique identity. Option C is also vague (many bright lights in sky). Option D accurately defines the Sun as the star Earth orbits, which is its scientific and specific definition.

Answer:

D. The star that Earth orbits
