    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. тАШNone of the aboveтАЩ.

    A perilous - persistent Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B engulfed - emancipated Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C tranquil - tumultuous Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D obliterating - embellishing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    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.
