The revolution in art has not lost its steam; it _ on as fiercely as ever.
Correct answer: D. Rages
- A. Trudges
- B. Meanders
- C. Ambles
- D. Rages
Explanation
The correct answer is Rages because it conveys the idea of something continuing with intensity and force, which matches the depiction of the art revolution in the sentence. The other options-Trudges, Meanders, and Ambles-do not capture the intensity or the fierce, ongoing nature of the revolution in art. These words imply slowness or a lack of direction, which is contrary to the sentence's emphasis on intensity and persistence.

About Meaning from Context
Meaning from context requires inferring an unfamiliar word or phrase from surrounding clues, including definitions, examples, contrasts, cause and effect, tone and grammatical role. The intended meaning may differ from a dictionary’s first meaning, so collocation, connotation and the sentence’s overall idea must be considered together.
