The jellyfish's show pulsing action people it in a graceful, seemingly ____________drift, but its tentacles contain poison potent enough to stun a swimming human.
- sinister
- rhythmic
- murky
- harmless
- patient
Answer(s): D
Explanation:
The use of the conjunction “but” implies a contradiction within the sentence. The second part says that the jellyfish's tentacles contain a poison which can kill a swimming human. So, to justify the use of the conjunction “but”, the first part must imply that the jellyfish looks “harmless.” So, “harmless” is the answer.
