Correct Answer: the nearest large


Solution : The second option is the correct answer .

In the original sentence, " nearby " must be changed to "nearest," as this is the superlative degree of comparison, which means that the Moon is the closest celestial body to us.

The correct answer is: "The moon is Earth's only natural satellite and the nearest large celestial body."
