Question

Match the bolded word in each excerpt to its contextual meaning.

Answer 1

In the excerpt "Missing me one place search another" from "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman, the word 'boundaries' fits better in the context, in the place of 'one place', since its meaning is close to it, as in 'edge', 'frontier', 'border'. Resulting in the sentence: Missing me bondaries search another.

In the excerpt "Nature without check with original energy." from "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman, the word 'control' fits better in the context, in the place of 'check', since its meaning is close to it, as in 'manage', 'verify', 'command'. Resulting in the sentence: Nature without control with original energy.

In the excerpt "Between the heaves of storm." from "Dying" by Emily Dickinson, the words 'the rising and falling of an object' fit better in the context, in the place of 'heaves' since they are close in meaning as the up and down of something, in this case, the storm. Resulting in the sentence: Between the rising and falling of the storm.
