Question
In the question below, a sentence is given with four
words highlighted in bold, followed by options that provide a replacement for each word. From the options, choose the word that must be replaced with its appropriate replacement. If all the highlighted words are correct and none need to be replaced, or if the incorrect word is not provided with an appropriate replacement, choose option (5), i.e. ‘None of the above’. The perilous storm engulfed the coastline in a tranquil surge of water, obliterating everything in its path and leaving destruction in its wake.Solution
The sentence describes a violent storm, but "tranquil" (meaning calm, peaceful) contradicts this idea. "Tumultuous" (meaning chaotic, violent) correctly describes the surge of water caused by the storm. Hence, "tranquil" must be replaced.
