Question

I need help, Thanks!----- What is most closely the meaning of the word face as it appears in the passage below (paragraph 5)?

I started doing some research and I watched a documentary called Sharkwater and it gave me insight into the plight of the shark. It showed me the horrors they faced due to the finning. They were being killed in huge quantities for their fins and were becoming extremely close to extinction.
Answer choices for the above question

A. verb | to have a difficult situation to deal with

B. verb | be positioned with the front toward something

C. noun | the front part of a person’s head

D. noun | the manifestation or outward aspect of something

Answer 1

Answer: A. verb, to have a difficult situation to deal with

It's not B because the meaning of the word face in the passage isn't literal.

It's not C because that wouldn't make sense if you took that definition and put it in that sentence.

It's not D because that wouldn't make sense if you took that definition and put it in that sentence.
