As I slowly, carefully descended the steep, treacherous mountain, the anxiety that had been hanging over me like a dark cloud slowly began to disintegrate. I had been lost in the wilderness for almost a week with little food to eat and only small, half-frozen streams from which to drink. With every step I took, I was getting closer and closer to civilization. I would soon be in the town I had spotted from the mountain’s peak, able to sleep in a real bed and eat something other than trail mix and beef jerky. What is the meaning of the word civilization in the paragraph?

disaster

comfort of modern life

politeness

a destination
