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 might plummet into the pool. “Ascend” means to go up, so it contrasts with “plummet,” which means to fall quickly downward. “Platforms,” “unpredictably,” and “entertain” do not give as helpful a clue to that meaning.
