Choices

Choice-A

Choice A is the best option. As used in this context, “intricate” would mean made up of complexly related elements. The text indicates that in the Three Sisters system, maize, squash, and beans form a “web of relations” in which the crops interact in various ways.

Correct intricate

5

Choice-B

Choice B is incorrect because "obscure" means “unclear” or “hard to understand,” which doesn’t fit the positive, organized system described.

Wrong obscure

6

Choice-C

Choice C is incorrect because “ornamental” means “decorative,” but the text emphasizes the practical benefits each plant provides to the others. This shows that the relationship among the crops in the Three Sisters system is functional, not decorative.

Wrong ornamental

7

Choice-D

Choice D is incorrect because “indecipherable” means “impossible to understand,” which does not make sense in this context. The relationship among the crops in the Three Sisters system is well understood and clearly explained, not difficult to comprehend.

Wrong indecipherable
