Question: 152
3. The word mottled most nearly means
- A. frightening.
- B. dedicated.
- C. speckled.
- D. relaxed.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer is (C). The sentence states that while the hares are changing color, their coats are a mottled brown and white. In the rest of the paragraph, we learn that hares change from all brown to all white in the fall, and back to all brown in the spring. It makes sense to expect that the hares' coats would be both brown and white as they go through the color change. The word speckled conveys that the coats have flecks of both colors, so choice (C) is correct.
