Am i right

PURIFIED means to clean the water so its safe to drink

Yes, you are correct. The word "DISTILLED" means to purify or separate a liquid by a process of heating and condensing. In this context, it means that the water from the well was purified to make it safe to drink. The word "flavored" does not match the meaning in this sentence, so the correct answer is "purified." Well done!

Look for context clues in the sentence. What would make the water safe to drink?

When you do not know the meaning o a word, look it up in a dictionary and find out what it means. Don't guess.
