Read the passage then answer the question. Jonas eased first one foot, then the next over the rocks, trying not to let his eyes see the steep drop on either side of the slick path. He gritted his teeth in concentration, silently praying that he would make it through the precarious passage alive. Based on the context, what is the best definition for precarious? A. plunging B. dramatic C. hazardous D. difficult

The answer would be C, given that precarious in this situation means dangerous, hazardous, etc.

I would say C hazardous because he has to be careful
