Answer 1

Answer:

B. untidy

The word "unkempt" in the passage means untidy or disheveled. It refers to something that is not neat, messy, or disorderly, typically used to describe an appearance, condition, or state of something that hasn't been cared for or organized properly.

For example, when the passage mentions that accumulated garbage makes cities or towns look "unkempt," it means that the environment looks messy, neglected, or untidy due to the presence of garbage and waste.
