Correct Answer:

kennel

Explanation:

The option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the underlined words in the given sentence is kennel.

  • Canal is a man-made waterway, typically used for navigation or irrigation.
  • Burrow is a hole or tunnel dug by an animal, especially a small animal, as a dwelling.
  • Shed is a small, roofed structure that is used for storage or shelter.

The word kennel is derived from the Old English word kenel, meaning "whelp" or "young dog". It is a small shelter for a dog, typically made of wood or metal. Kennels are often used by dog owners who do not have enough space in their homes to keep their dogs inside. They can also be used by dog breeders and trainers.
