Question

question 2
consider the line amy lowells poem \the pike\ where she writes, \a pike dozed.\ which synonym (word with the same meaning) is closest in connotation to \dozed\?
rested
slumbered
slept

Explanation:

"Doze" implies a light - sleep or a state of being half - asleep. "Slumbered" also suggests a state of sleep but is more in line with a light, drowsy sleep similar to dozing. "Rest" is a more general term for relaxation and not as close in meaning to the act of dozing. "Slept" is a more general term for being in a state of sleep without the connotation of lightness that "dozed" has.

Answer:

Slumbered
