Choose the word that can substitute the given group of words.
A fall of water from a great height
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The word that can substitute the given group of words "a fall of water from a great height" is cascade.
- River is a large natural stream of water flowing in a channel, especially one that is longer than a stream.
- Stream is a small natural body of running water, smaller than a river.
- Typhoon is a large, intense tropical cyclone with strong winds and heavy rain.
The word cascade is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to a waterfall or a series of waterfalls. The other words do not have the same connotation of being a large amount of water falling from a great height.
