* Drag the correct answer into all target fields

Why are moths fatally attracted to the light? One is the old glib explanation that the moths are trying to use the flame to navigate. This does not tell us, however, why it is that in many species only males are thus attracted, and in a few, only females. What's , if moths need to navigate, they must be from a migrating species. Yet most of the time, such moths are not migrating. Indeed, most species do not at all and thus do not need navigation.

A.I. Explanation:

Correct answer: solution
Explanation: The word 'solution' fits grammatically as a noun that refers to an answer or explanation to a problem. In this context, it introduces the idea of a possible explanation for the moths' attraction to light, aligning with the overall inquiry of the sentence.
Meaning: A 'solution' is an answer to a problem or question.
Wrong options:
such: The word 'such' is a determiner that does not function as a noun and cannot serve as the subject of the sentence.
begun: 'Begun' is the past participle of 'begin,' which does not fit grammatically as it does not provide a noun or answer to the question posed.
explanation: While 'explanation' is relevant, it is not the correct form here as it does not fit the grammatical structure needed for this blank.
seperate: 'Seperate' is a misspelling of 'separate' and does not fit contextually or grammatically as it does not relate to the inquiry about moths.
indeed: 'Indeed' is an adverb that adds emphasis but does not serve as a noun or answer to the question.
Correct answer: explanation

Wrong options:
more: 'More' is an adverb that does not fit as it does not provide a noun or answer to the question about the moths' attraction.
such: 'Such' is a determiner that does not function as a noun and cannot serve as the subject of the sentence.

indeed: 'Indeed' is an adverb that adds emphasis but does not serve as a noun or answer to the question.
Correct answer: more
Explanation: The word 'more' serves as an adverb that indicates an additional quantity or degree, fitting grammatically and contextually as it introduces a further inquiry into the moths' navigation needs.
Meaning: 'More' refers to a greater amount or degree of something.
Wrong options:
solution: 'Solution' is a noun that does not fit grammatically as it does not serve as an adverb or indicate an additional inquiry.
