Multiple choice

Directions: Complete the following sentence correctly.

Her voice was like water ……..

  1. as bubbled from a silver jar

  2. that bubbled from a silver jar

  3. bubbling from a silver jar

  4. that appeared bubbling from a silver jar
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence uses a simile comparing voice to water. The correct answer uses the participle "bubbling" to modify "water" and create a vivid image. Options A and B use finite verbs ("as bubbled", "that bubbled") which create clunky sentence structure. Option D is wordy and less elegant than the direct participle phrase.
