Question

What word in the passage means 'to look like​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The word, 'harness' means 'to control and make use of (natural resources), especially to produce energy'. Hence, this is the word in the passage which means the same as 'to bring under control'. Option D is correct.

The word, 'proximity' means 'nearness in space or time'. The word, 'immense' means 'extremely large or great, especially in scale or degree'. The word 'silt' is a noun, which means 'earthy matter' or 'fine sand'. The word, 'silted' is the past tense of the verb, 'silt', which means 'become filled or blocked with silt'.

Given the above meanings, the words, 'proximity', 'immense' and 'silted' do not mean the same as 'to bring under control'. Hence, options A, B and C are incorrect.
