Curve

Explanation:

The word that is closest in meaning to the word bend is curve.

  • Bend means to change the shape of something so that it is no longer straight.
  • Curve means to have a smooth, gradual bend or curve.

Both words refer to a change in shape, but bend is more general, while curve implies a more specific, smooth, and gradual change in shape.

  • Fell means to fall down suddenly.
  • Straight means having no curves or bends.
  • Direct means to go straight to a place or person.
