Among the ancient scripts, only a handful are still ______.
Correct Answer:
Extant
Explanation:
The idea being tested is the status of existence or survival from the past. Extant describes things that are still in existence or surviving today, which is exactly what the sentence needs for the ancient scripts. Only a handful of ancient scripts remain in existence, so the word that best fits is the one meaning “still present.” The other options don’t fit the sense of surviving or existing: immutable means unchanging, felicity means happiness, and proclivity means a natural tendency.
