Question 3
Why is "decay" the word that best helps you determine the meaning of "ailing"? Type your response in the space below.
Answer:Decay is the best word to help me understand ailing because decay means that the mummies' skin is falling apart because of the skin bacteria caused by the humidity. If the mummies' skin is falling apart, they must look really sick. Ailing is a synonym for sick so I know it's the right meaning of the word.
