Answer:

B. Undiscovered

Read Explanation:

• Why "Undiscovered" is the correct synonym: Breaking down the word: The word uncharted comes from "chart." A chart is a map used by sailors or explorers. Prefix "un-": Means "not." Root "chart": Means "mapped" or "recorded." Suffix "-ed": Indicates a state or condition. Therefore, uncharted literally means "not recorded on a map." Contextual Clues: The sentence mentions an "explorer" and the act of "searching for adventure." Explorers typically go to places that are undiscovered or unknown to their civilization. Meaning: If a territory is uncharted, it means no one has documented it or explored it thoroughly yet.
