Which word best fits blank (2) in the passage that follows?
"The camel is often called the ship of the desert, yet its endurance owes less to the hump — which stores fat, not water — than to a set of remarkable (1) ___. Its nostrils close against stinging sand, its thick eyelashes shield its eyes, and its body temperature is allowed to (2) ___ widely, saving the water that sweating would waste."
1.
fall
2.
freeze
3.
stabilise
4.
fluctuate
Correct Answer: fluctuate
The camel conserves water by letting its body temperature rise and fall with the environment instead of sweating to keep it constant. "Fluctuate" means to vary irregularly, which fits "widely". The other options contradict the sense of the sentence.
