Question

which word is the opposite of \howl\?
a chew
b scream
c whisper
d snore

Explanation:

First, define the target word: "howl" means to make a loud, long cry. Now analyze each option:

• "chew" means to grind food with teeth, unrelated to volume of sound.
• "scream" is a loud cry, similar to howl, not an opposite.
• "whisper" means to speak very softly, which is the direct opposite of the loud sound of a howl.
• "snore" is a loud breathing sound during sleep, not an opposite.

Answer:

C. whisper
