• A. Danger
• B. Dangerous
• C. Endanger
• D. Endangered

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Option A,C and D; The words Danger and Endanger and often confused with each other, but they have completely different meanings.

Danger is the possibility of suffering harm or injury.

Endanger means put at risk.

Endangered is the past tense of the word Endanger.

These words do not make any sense in the aforesaid sentence and hence they are both incorrect.

Option B; Dangerous means able or likely to cause harm. In the sentence it means going near the dog is likely to cause harm. This is hence the correct option.
