Giải đáp

Đáp án: B. disturb

The underlined word “disturb” is incorrect. It should be “disrupts”.

Correct sentence: Air pollution is defined as any contamination of the atmosphere that disrupts the natural composition and chemistry of the air.

Explanation:

• Disturb means to make someone feel slightly upset or worried.
• Disrupt means to interrupt or spoil something.

In the context of the sentence, air pollution is something that spoils the natural composition and chemistry of the air, so the word “disrupts” is more appropriate.
