Sola could not travel yesterday because of the severity of the weather.

  • A. cold
  • B. mildnessCorrect
  • C. warmth
  • D. moderation

Explanation

'Severity' implies harshness or extremity (e.g. extreme cold), which is closest to option A ('cold'). Note: the source marks 'B' (mildness) as the answer, but 'mildness' means the opposite of severe/harsh weather — this appears to be an inconsistency in the original key.
