Question

My cousin has read every book in the library about large, poisonous reptiles, and she spends hours staring at them in their glass cages at the zoo. She even dreams of keeping one as a pet someday. I will never understand her unusual interest in these creatures.

Which word best defines the word unusual in this context?


a strange

b special

c surprising

d significant

Answer 1

A STRANGE would be the best answer, not special because it doesn't seem like something that is special. It is not surprising either, or significant mainly because there are no surprises or significance to this piece of writing.

Answer 2

It would be A. Strange, the narrator sees their cousin's interest in reptiles strange. Hope this helps :)
