Question
In each of the following sentences, choose the word
similar in meaning to the bold word to fill in the blank. The turbulent sea was mirrored by the ___________sky, creating a dramatic and unsettling atmosphere.Solution
Explanation: Turbulent refers to something chaotic, rough, or disturbed, often used to describe situations or conditions that are unstable or intense. In this context, it describes a rough, unsettled sea. Stormy means characterized by storms or rough weather, which is similar to turbulent in describing intense or unsettled conditions, particularly in weather or sea. Both words suggest chaos and instability. Assertive means confident and forceful, which doesn't fit with the idea of rough weather or a turbulent sea. Peaceful refers to calm or serene conditions, which is the opposite of turbulent and does not match the dramatic, unsettling atmosphere described. Steady refers to something stable or unchanging, which contrasts with the idea of turbulent, implying movement or unrest. Therefore, "stormy" is the best choice, as it is closely related in meaning to "turbulent" in describing unstable or rough conditions.
