just want to ask ur perspective:
While the rate at which absolute global sea level is rising may seem ________, it has been far from an incidental factor in human history.
disconcerting
intractable
improbable
imperceptible
unnerving
Trivial
My simpler understanding of the sentence was
While it may seem “scary”, in reality it is far from being “scary”
While the ( negative), it is FAR from (negative)
To which making the second half positive, so first part of the sentence should be negative idea?
my answer was disconcerting and unnerving, but AIs keep insisting its trivial/imperceptible
Any explanation would be greatly appreciated
