Correct Answer: its long journey


Solution : The underlined part of the sentence can be improved by choosing the fourth option.

Explanation : Long is the correct choice over longer in this context because the sentence is describing a general characteristic of a camel's journey in the desert. The use of longer would imply a comparison to other journeys, suggesting that some journeys are shorter.

So, the correct sentence would be: "The camel uses fat as a source of energy during its long journey in the desert."
