Switching from chains to cables in the building of roller coasters was important because cables are less likely to snap when hauling several tons of roller coaster cars full of people. Chains are made of linked, welded pieces of metal that can easily snap if they pull too much. Cables, while they can snap, are much less likely to do so, because they're a stretch of fibers, be it metal or other, without any potential weak spots.

Use context to determine the meaning of the word tremulous as it is used in Across Five Aprils. Write your definition of ""tremu
Ainat [17]

Answer:

definition of tremulous would be shaking or quivering from fear, usually while acting very timid

Explanation:

After reading Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt I found the word "tremulous" in Chapter 2. It was used in the sentence "her voice is tremulous from fear of being wrong and out of place". From this context, the definition of tremulous would be shaking or quivering from fear, usually while acting very timid. I believe this would be the best definition of this word since when you speaking with fear in your heart your voice tends to become shaky and many times incoherent due to the fear, as was happening in this part of Chapter 2.
