Medal Complete the sentence by using the correct word. The bits of lead cannot be seen because they are _____. accumulative geologist exhaust industrial toxicity especially particles geochemist analyzed microscopic environmental

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

But basically, we're just looking for the right word to fill up this sentence

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Now lead is toxic, but to fill up the sentence "The bits of lead cannot be seen because they are toxicity", is incorrect

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

The keywords you need to look at in order to find the correct word is. The BITS of lead CANNOT BE SEEN because they are ______ We need a word that describes lead that cannot be seen.

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

What words in this word list describe objects that are hard to see? accumulative geologist exhaust industrial toxicity especially particles geochemist analyzed microscopic environmental

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

accumulative describes many things, so it cant be that one. Geologist is obviously not the answer, as this is a noun describing a person who studies a particular section of science. Exhaust can't be it either, as this word doesn't pertain to this sentence in the correct way. Industrial does relate to lead, but is it a word that describes things that cannot be seen? no

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Good Job! Microscopic describes things that can only be seen with a microscope, so therefore these "things" must be tiny. The other word that might fit this sentence though, could be the word particles. The bits of lead cannot be seen because they are microscopic. The bits of lead cannot be seen because they are particles. The difference between these two is that one is a noun, and the other is an adjective

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Which word do you think is correct?

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Close, but I do believe that the answer would be microscopic :)

OpenStudy (justuu):

oh thank you

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

I myself had some momentarily confusion, as those two words in the same word list connecting to such a sentence is a lil difficult to figure out
