Sentence-Equivalence Questions

Select the ==two== answer choices that, if used to complete the sentence, fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole and produce completed sentences that are alike in meaning. --- Though the travel brochures depict year-round \_\_\_\_\_ waters, tourists who visit the Great Lakes during the colder months will find a sky devoid of sunlight that leaves the water gray and choppy.

Correct! _Fluorescing_ means "to shine or glow brightly." This is the opposite of the __sentence key__, _a sky devoid of sunlight that leaves the water gray and choppy_, as indicated by the __hinge word__, _though_.

You're right! Something _scintillates_ when it "emits flashes of light." This fits the __sentence key__, as it is the opposite of _a sky devoid of sunlight that leaves the water gray and choppy_ when combined with the __hinge word__ _though_.

Incorrect. [[snippet]] _Undulate_ means "moving with a smooth, wavelike motion." This choice fits only part of the __sentence key__; it is the opposite of the description of the water as _gray and choppy_, but it does not fit with the lack of sunlight the __key__ describes.

Incorrect. [[snippet]] _Wavering_ means "shaking with a quivering motion." This choice does not specifically fit the __sentence key__ and __hinge word__.

Incorrect. [[snippet]] _Vacillating_ means "alternating indecisively between two opinions." This meaning doesn't fit the sentence's context.

Incorrect. [[snippet]] _Rippling_ means "moving with a small series of waves," which appears to fit the context perfectly. However, it is also an example of a __same-subject distractor__ as it fits with the theme of lake water but does not match the __sentence key__ and __hinge word__.
