D. The use of perilous gives a paragraph a more adventurous tone. Perilous means “full of danger” or “very risky” when it’s added to a paragraph the reader is interested in learning more about the dangers of the situation. For example, the climb was perilous but the hikers were determined to reach the mountain peak. This sentence shows perilous as meaning very dangerous and the reader expects adventure.
