darkknight:

Can you provide the supporting passage?

sammixboo:

Well, let's start with defining the choices. Desolate means there isn't anyone or anything around. In other words, it is pretty barren. Intricate means complicated or complex, sometimes also meaning there is a lot involved with what is going on. Prehistoric refers to the time record before written history, is this passage set before written history or very old? Lastly, primeval is another word for very old, but it could also be referred to as our instincts or raw feelings and drives. So after knowing the definition and reading the introduction sentence, what do you think the answer is?
