Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Farthest

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "uttermost" is an adjective that describes an object, person, place, etc. that is remote or far from a certain location. Also, this can be used to describe the maximum degree of something. Due to this, the word "uttermost" is a synonym of outermost, farthest or maximum. According to this, in the sentence presented, the word "uttermost" indicates the house was really far from the neighborhood and therefore the word that matches this word is "farthest".
