Question 1 Report

In the question below choose the option nearest in meaning to the word(s) or phrase(s) Underlined:

You do not need to stutter in order to show your excitement

Answer Details
The word "stutter" means to speak with involuntary pauses or repetitions. In this context, the sentence suggests that stuttering is not necessary to show excitement. Therefore, the option nearest in meaning to "stutter" is "stammer". However, none of the options exactly matches the meaning of "stutter" in this context. "Jump about" and "shout" are not related to speaking and do not convey the same meaning. "Sob" implies crying and is also not related to speaking. "Stammer" is the closest in meaning, but it still does not fully capture the intended meaning of the sentence.
