Winter had blown into Illinois early this year, and still it was only December. The once soft, yellow midwestern fields had been

transformed into a bleak and jagged landscape of snow and ice. Sadie's mother had been transferred by her company to McHale, Illinois in late October, and so the family had relocated from the warm and sunny California coast to the heart of the frigid Midwest. Despite the splendid new house surrounded by beautiful countryside, it had been difficult for Sadie to acclimate. She was fully conscious that she required time to adjust to the new surroundings. Her father explained that she must learn to adapt, but this seemed like an entirely different world. Ramira was reading this paragraph and came across the word "acclimate." At first, she decided that the word must mean "move." Is Ramira's understanding of the word acclimate correct?
1. Yes, it is correct; the context explains that Sadie did not want to leave California.

2. Yes, it is correct the paragraph tells about Sadie's dislike of the weather in the new place.

3. No, it is incorrect; the context explains that Sadie is struggling to "become accustomed to her new situation.

04. No, it is incorrect; the passage tells about Sadie's need to "focus on" a solution to her problem.​

Answer:

3. No, it is incorrect; the context explains that Sadie is struggling to "become accustomed to her new situation.

Explanation:

The term "acclimate" means struggling to adapt to a new environment or conditions. It is used for situational change.

So, when Ramira thought the word meant "move", her understanding is completely wrong. The context in which the word "acclimate" is used in the passage is to explain Sadie's struggle to be familiar and adapt to the colder climate whereas Ramira's understanding is completely off.

So, the correct answer is option 3.
