Discussion
The formerly ____ waters of the lake have been polluted so that the fish are no longer visible from the surface.
Answer: A
Correct answer: pellucid
Formerly signals that the water used to be the opposite of what pollution has made it. Since the fish are no longer visible from the surface, the water must once have been clear.
Pellucid means transparently clear. Muddy and stagnant describe the polluted state, not the earlier one, and tranquil refers to stillness, which has no bearing on whether fish can be seen.
