V. Use the following paragraph to answer questions #27 – 30.
Because we have no fence or hedges running along the sidewalk in front of our house, our lawn is very prominent. The grass that covers it is filled with dandelions, and so my parents are always talking about ways that they might eradicate these pesky weeds. So far, they have been frustrated in their efforts, since they arereluctant to use any kind of pesticide that might have harmful effects on other living things. I’m happy to say that I recently found a solution to the problem. In a magazine I was reading, I saw an article that said that dandelions should not be thought of as weeds. Some people even grow them on farms for their green leaves,while are filled with vitamins and can be cooked or eaten raw in salads. Now that I have shared my new knowledge, everyone in my family has a new appreciation for the plants, and we have come to enjoy the sight of their bright yellow flowers on our front lawn.
Which of the following words could be used to replace prominent (sentence 1)?
