Question

The scorpion is rare, but

Answer 1

Answer:

Poisonous

Explanation:

The underlined word is venomous, and the options you were given are the following:

• non-poisonous
• non-toxic
• non-venomous
• poisonous

Synonyms are different words that have nearly or exactly the same meaning. A venomous animal is an animal capable of injecting venom through a bite or sting.  The word poisonous is mostly used when it comes to plants and other substances that can cause death or illness after being ingested, but it can also be used when we talk about animals. In that case, it means producing poison as a means of attacking enemies or prey. That's why the word poisonous is the synonym of venomous.

The rest of the words have the opposite meaning, which makes them the antonyms of the underlined word.
