    • Cliff

    • Island

    Correct Answer
    A. Cliff
    Explanation

    Rumbling   

    • Deep sound

    • Squeaky sound

    • Sharp sound

    • Silent

    Correct Answer
    A. Deep sound
    Explanation
    The word "rumbling" typically refers to a deep, low-pitched sound. This is usually associated with a continuous or prolonged noise that is often caused by something large or powerful. "Squeaky" and "sharp" sounds are high-pitched and usually short in duration, while "silent" means no sound at all. Therefore, "deep sound" is the most appropriate choice to describe the word "rumbling".

    Massive 

    • Tiny

    • Bulky

    • Salty

    • Long

    Correct Answer
    A. Bulky
    Explanation
    The word "bulky" is the best fit among the given options as it contrasts with "massive". "Bulky" means large, heavy, and difficult to move or handle, which is opposite in meaning to "massive". The other options, "tiny", "salty", and "long", do not provide an opposite meaning to "massive". Therefore, "bulky" is the correct answer.

    Lagoon 

    • Ocean

    • Pond

    • bluff

    • island

    Correct Answer
    A. Pond
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "pond" because a lagoon is a shallow body of water that is separated from a larger body of water, usually by a barrier such as sand or coral reefs. Similarly, a pond is a small body of water that is separate from a larger body of water, such as a lake or river. The other options, ocean, bluff, and island, do not fit the definition of a lagoon.
