Question

Read the following excerpt from "The Grasshopper and the Bell Cricket": "Different from the painted-over red lanterns, others (made of thick cutout cardboard) had their designs drawn upon the paper windows, so that the candle's light seemed to emanate from the form and color of the design itself." Which word or phrase could replace the word "emanate" in the excerpt? A. Originate B. Move toward C. Look like D. Shade

Answer 1

The answer is A. Originate.

Emanate means to come from, or to stem from something. Therefore, the word originate could replace emanate and still make sense in the excerpt.
