vocabulary activity questions and knocked it off - kilter. so instead of rotating with its straight up and down, it leans over a bit. what does the word tilt mean as used in these sentences? a skip b spin c move d lean

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "tilt" in the sentence, we analyze the context. The sentence says "instead of rotating with its axis straight up and down, it leans over a bit". The word "lean" in option D matches the idea of the Earth's axis not being straight but leaning, while "skip" (A), "spin" (B), and "move" (C) don't fit the context of the axis's orientation.

Answer:

D. lean
