Answer 1

Answer:

B. beyond

• Why "beyond" is the correct answer: Indicating Limits: The word beyond means "further than" or "surpassing a certain limit." Contextual Logic: The passage states that while the body's ability to handle heat is important, the harms of climate change go beyond (further than) just that one physical issue. It suggests that heat is only the beginning, and there are other, more extensive problems to consider. Idiomatic Usage: The phrase "to go beyond something" is a common way to say that a situation is more complex or has more factors than the one mentioned.
