Millions of years ago, the continents were arranged in a way that one landmass dominated the others: Gondwana, which present-day South America, Africa, Arabia, Madagascar, India, Australia, and Antarctica. More continents collided with this early Gondwana time to form Pangaea, the “whole Earth.” It was immense by any of the imagination: all of the planet’s landmass was surrounded by the biggest ocean in history.

A.I. Explanation:

Correct answer: incorporated
Explanation: The word 'incorporated' is a verb that fits grammatically as it describes the action of including present-day continents within Gondwana. It aligns with the context of discussing how Gondwana was a significant landmass that included various regions.
Meaning: 'Incorporated' means to include or integrate something as part of a whole.
Wrong options:
invaded: 'Invaded' is a verb that implies an aggressive entry, which does not fit the context of describing how Gondwana included other landmasses.
in: 'In' is a preposition that does not convey the action of including and does not fit grammatically in this context.
sort: 'Sort' is a noun that refers to a category or type, which does not fit as it does not describe an action related to landmasses.
over: 'Over' is a preposition that does not convey the action of including and is not appropriate here.
Correct answer: over
Explanation: The word 'over' is a preposition that indicates a duration of time, fitting grammatically and contextually as it describes the process of continents colliding with Gondwana across a period.
Meaning: 'Over' in this context means throughout or during a period of time.
Wrong options:
invaded: 'Invaded' does not fit as it implies an aggressive action rather than a temporal relationship.
in: 'In' is a preposition that does not convey the sense of duration needed in this context.
sort: 'Sort' is a noun that does not relate to time and does not fit grammatically.
stretch: 'Stretch' is a noun that does not indicate a temporal relationship and is not appropriate here.
Correct answer: stretch
Explanation: The word 'stretch' is a noun that fits grammatically as it refers to a measure or extent of something, which is appropriate in the context of describing the vastness of Pangaea.
Meaning: 'Stretch' refers to the extent or range of something, particularly in terms of size or distance.
Wrong options:
invaded: 'Invaded' is a verb that does not relate to the concept of measuring or describing extent and is not suitable here.
in: 'In' is a preposition that does not convey a measure or extent and does not fit grammatically.
sort: 'Sort' is a noun that refers to a category, which does not fit the context of measuring the imagination.
over: 'Over' is a preposition that does not relate to the concept of extent and is not appropriate in this context.
