Explanation

Extreme means very great, intense, or beyond usual limits. It can describe weather, emotions, situations, or actions. For example, extreme heat can make it hard to stay outside, and extreme happiness can make someone jump with joy. Extreme can also describe actions that go beyond normal limits. People often use this word to emphasise situations, whether good or bad. For example, “He showed extreme care while handling the fragile vase.” It also means the highest or furthest degree of something. For example, “The extremes of hot and cold make survival difficult.”
