The explorers’ path was . . . . . . . . with dangers.

The correct answer is A. beset.

The word “beset” means “to surround or attack on all sides.” In this case, the explorers’ path was surrounded by dangers.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the situation. The explorers’ path was not full of dangers (B), given to them (C), used up (D), or affected by (E) dangers.

Here are some examples of how the word “beset” can be used in a sentence:

• The castle was beset by enemies.
• The ship was beset by storms.
• The town was beset by refugees.
