'c admit'
Explicación
## Step 1The problem is asking us to find a synonym for the word "concede" in the given sentence. A synonym is a word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word.## Step 2The sentence is: "Spelunkers who attempt to explore Cocklebiddy Cave concede that they must be as good at scuba diving as they are at rock or mountain climbing."## Step 3In this context, "concede" means to admit or acknowledge something, often reluctantly or under pressure. The sentence implies that the spelunkers are admitting that they need to be skilled in scuba diving, even though they are primarily rock or mountain climbers.## Step 4Given the options "fear," "c admit," and "avoid," the word that best fits as a synonym for "concede" is "admit." The word "fear" does not fit the context of the sentence, and "avoid" is the opposite of what "concede" means in this context.
