Answer the question below and choose the option nearest in meaning to the word o...

This question is asking you to choose the option that is closest in meaning to the underlined word "screamed" in the sentence "The actress screamed when she noticed an object behind her." The options are A, B, C, and D. Option A is "wedded in," Option B is "stormed out," Option C is "wailed," and Option D is "protested."

In this sentence, "screamed" means that the actress made a loud, high-pitched sound because she was scared or surprised. To "wail" also means to make a loud, high-pitched sound, usually because of sadness or pain. However, in this case, since the actress was scared, "wailed" is not the exact meaning of "screamed," but it is the closest in meaning to it compared to the other options. Therefore, the correct option is C, "wailed."
