Migration  could  be  described  as  the  well-defined  journey  animals  make  to  a  familiar    at  specific  seasons  or  times  of  the  year.  All  species  that  migrate  do  so  for  a  common  ,  in  order  to  survive.  Migration  allows  them  to  spend  their  life  in  more  than  one  area  and  thus    problems  that  can  occur  in  one  habitat,  such  as  lack  of  food,  shelter  or  exposure  to  harsh  weather.

Correct answer: destination

Explanation: The word 'destination' fits grammatically as a noun that refers to the end point of a journey, which aligns with the context of animals migrating to a specific place. It maintains the sentence's structure and meaning, indicating where the animals are headed during migration.

Meaning: 'Destination' refers to the place to which someone or something is going.

Wrong options:

  • position: 'Position' refers to a location or status but does not convey the idea of a journey's endpoint, making it contextually inappropriate here.
  • purpose: 'Purpose' is a noun that indicates the reason for an action, which does not fit as a location in this context.
  • experience: 'Experience' refers to the knowledge or skill acquired through involvement in an activity, which does not relate to a physical location.
  • situation: 'Situation' refers to a set of circumstances or a state of affairs, which does not denote a specific place for migration.
  • avoid: 'Avoid' is a verb that means to keep away from, which does not fit as a noun describing a location.
Correct answer: purpose

Explanation: The term 'purpose' is a noun that indicates the reason for migration, fitting grammatically and contextually as it explains why animals migrate. It aligns with the idea of survival, which is the main theme of the sentence.

Meaning: 'Purpose' refers to the reason for doing something.

Wrong options:

  • position: 'Position' refers to a location or status, which does not convey the reason for migration and is therefore contextually incorrect.
  • destination: 'Destination' is a noun that indicates a place to which one is going, not a reason for migration, making it unsuitable here.
  • experience: 'Experience' refers to knowledge gained through involvement, which does not relate to the reason for migration.
  • situation: 'Situation' refers to a set of circumstances, which does not explain the motivation behind migration.
  • avoid: 'Avoid' is a verb that means to keep away from something, which does not fit as a noun describing a reason.
Correct answer: avoid

Explanation: The verb 'avoid' fits grammatically as it indicates the action that animals take to prevent problems in their habitat. It logically follows the context of migration, which is to escape difficulties that may arise in a single location.

Meaning: 'Avoid' means to keep away from or prevent something from happening.

Wrong options:

  • position: 'Position' is a noun that refers to a location or status, which does not convey the action of preventing problems.
  • purpose: 'Purpose' is a noun that indicates a reason for an action, which does not fit as an action to prevent issues.
  • experience: 'Experience' refers to knowledge gained through involvement, which does not relate to the action of preventing problems.
  • situation: 'Situation' refers to a set of circumstances, which does not denote an action to avoid issues.
  • destination: 'Destination' is a noun that indicates a place to which one is going, not an action to prevent problems.
