Read the paragraph. During the competition, contestants had to ascend a series of platforms. This was a challenge because the platforms floated in a giant swimming pool, making them tip back and forth unpredictably. The idea was to entertain the audience with the contestants' skills, but it was also fun to watch the contestants plummet into the pool with a big splash. Which word best helps you understand the meaning of plummet ?
The paragraph says contestants had to ascend the platforms, then describes them plummeting into the pool. Ascend means to go up, so it provides a helpful contrast: plummet means to fall or drop quickly. “Unpredictably” describes how the platforms moved, not what plummet means.
