Correct Answer: frog adapts itself


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Adapt means to make something suitable for a new use or purpose or modify it, whereas adopt means to legally take another's child and bring it up as one's own. In the context of the sentence, the frog adapts, not adopts, itself to live on both land and water.

The correct sentence is: "The frog adapts itself to live both in water and on land."
