Question

We looked over the precipice and quickly realized that it was a long way down to the road below us.

Which phrase helps you know that the word “precipice” means “a steep cliff”?
Select one:
quickly realized
we looked over
a long way down
below us

Answer 1

Answer:

below us

Explanation:

quickly realized doesn't tell you that the precipice is deep, we looked over also doesn't tell you it is deep, a long way down doesn't tell you either because a long way down could be something straight or far up ahead.  Below us is the answer because below us means down and the precipice is deep down.
