Read the passage about space, then answer the question.

The terrestrial, or rocky, planets are Mercury, Venus and Mars. They are more like Earth than any others.

According to context clues, which best defines the underlined word?

underwater
small
gas-filled
stony

Answer 1

I am hoping the underlined word is terrestrial, if it is I belive it would be stony.

Step-by-step explanation:

ter·res·tri·al

/təˈrestrēəl/

of, on, or relating to the earth.

Answer 2

Well if the sentence has "terrestrial, or rocky", then I would go with stony since it is a synonym to rocky. That answer is the only one that makes since. because terrestrial means able to live on and the other answers don't describe that, so your answer should be d or the last choice.
