Question

Fluorescent lights are an excellent choice for aquariums because they emit very little heat. In addition, fluorescent light appears filtered, so it more closely resembles rays of sunlight reaching into the ocean.
In this passage, the word emit means
A) release.
B) propose.
C) assign.
D) neglect.

Answer 1

A. Release. ...............

Answer 2

Answer:

A) release.

Explanation:

In this passage, the word "emit" means something similar to "to send forth" or "to discharge." This is also similar to the meaning of the word "release." In this example, the author wants to indicate that the fluorescent lights do not release much heat, and are therefore ideal for aquariums.
