Question

Read the passage. “a cattle herd on an all-day drive can be seen in three parts: the lead, the herd, and the drag. You praise those in the lead. You can’t help but notice the drag because you try to keep them moving. But it’s the main herd that you tend to ignore.”

Which is the meaning of “drag” in the pharagraph?

1. Race
2. Delay
3. Rear
4. Pain

Thank you!!

Answer 1

2, delay.

Step-by-step explanation:

"...to keep them moving" Sounds like the herd is stopping. So delay makes the most sense.
