Question

select the verb or verb phrase that is the best option to replace the verb watched in the following sentence. kino watched the waves, hoping to see the whale breach again. options: gazed at, blinked at, glared at

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the meanings: "watched" here means observing intently. "Gazed at" implies a steady, focused look, suitable for observing waves. "Blinked at" is about quick eye movements (not for observing). "Glared at" is angry/stern (not context here). "Watched at" is ungrammatical. So "gazed at" fits.

Answer:

A. gazed at
