Question

To say that a student lumbered into a room rather than walked into a room is to emphasize which quality in the student? A. the student's grace B. the student's ability C. the student's slowness D. the student's ignorance

Answer 1

Answer:

C. the student's slowness

Explanation:

I think this is the correct answer because the word "lumber" is defined by the dictionary as: to move in a very slow and clumsy way or to move ponderously. The two characteristics that are emphasized in this definition are the slowness and the clumsiness.

The only one found in the options given is in option C. The other options emphasize other aspects.

Option A. emphasizes the ability to move in a relaxed and smooth way so it is the opposite.

Answer 2

I would say A.) The students grace, because if you're not very graceful, then you're more likely to stumble or lumber around. I hope that makes sense.
