Perseverance,  like  past  rovers  on  Mars,  has  a  weather  station  to    it  of  any  unfavorable  conditions  for  operation.  The  rover  consistently  sends  weather    back  to  ground  for  scientists  to  analyze!  The  cameras  on  Perseverance  also  have  covers  that  are  only  removed  when  the  camera  is  in  ,  limiting  its  exposure.  The  cameras,  ,  still  get  dusty!

Correct answer: alert

Explanation: The word 'alert' functions as a verb that indicates the action of notifying or warning. In this context, it fits grammatically as it follows the preposition 'to,' which requires a verb form. The sentence discusses the rover's capability to notify itself about unfavorable conditions, making 'alert' the appropriate choice.

Meaning: 'Alert' means to notify or warn about something.

Wrong options:

  • use: 'Use' is a noun or verb that does not fit the context of notifying; it does not convey the action of warning.
  • expression: 'Expression' is a noun that refers to a way of conveying thoughts or feelings, which does not relate to the action of notifying.
  • however: 'However' is a conjunction used to contrast ideas, which does not fit as it does not convey an action related to notification.
  • information: 'Information' is a noun that refers to data or knowledge, which does not fit as it does not indicate an action.
  • grant: 'Grant' is a verb that means to give or allow, which does not fit the context of notifying about conditions.
  • then: 'Then' is an adverb that indicates time, which does not relate to the action of alerting.
Correct answer: information

Explanation: The term 'information' is a noun that refers to data or knowledge communicated. It fits grammatically as it serves as the object of the verb 'sends,' indicating what is being sent back to the ground for analysis.

Meaning: 'Information' refers to facts or details about a subject.

Wrong options:

  • use: 'Use' does not fit as it is a verb or noun that does not represent data being sent back.
  • expression: 'Expression' is a noun that refers to conveying thoughts, which does not fit as it does not represent data.
  • however: 'However' is a conjunction that does not fit as it does not represent a type of data or knowledge.
  • alert: 'Alert' is a verb that does not fit as it does not represent the data being sent back.
  • grant: 'Grant' is a verb that means to give, which does not fit in the context of data being sent.
  • then: 'Then' is an adverb that indicates time, which does not relate to the data being sent.
Correct answer: use

Explanation: The word 'use' functions as a noun in this context, indicating the state of being utilized. It fits grammatically as it follows the preposition 'in,' which requires a noun form to describe the condition under which the camera operates.

Meaning: 'Use' refers to the act of employing something for a purpose.

Wrong options:

  • alert: 'Alert' is a verb that does not fit as it does not describe a state of operation.
  • expression: 'Expression' is a noun that refers to conveying thoughts, which does not fit as it does not describe a state of operation.
  • however: 'However' is a conjunction that does not fit as it does not describe a state of being or operation.
  • information: 'Information' is a noun that refers to data, which does not fit as it does not describe a state of operation.
  • grant: 'Grant' is a verb that means to give, which does not fit in the context of describing a state of operation.
  • then: 'Then' is an adverb that indicates time, which does not relate to the state of being utilized.
Correct answer: however

Explanation: The word 'however' serves as a conjunction that introduces a contrast to the previous statement. It fits grammatically as it connects two clauses, indicating that despite the protective measures, the cameras still get dusty.

Meaning: 'However' means in spite of that; nevertheless.

Wrong options:

  • use: 'Use' does not fit as it does not serve as a conjunction to connect contrasting ideas.
  • expression: 'Expression' is a noun that does not fit as it does not connect ideas or clauses.
  • alert: 'Alert' is a verb that does not fit as it does not serve to contrast ideas.
  • information: 'Information' is a noun that does not fit as it does not connect contrasting ideas.
  • grant: 'Grant' is a verb that means to give, which does not fit in the context of contrasting statements.
  • then: 'Then' is an adverb that indicates time, which does not serve to contrast ideas.
