Read the sentence:
Our plan is to rove the country, traveling by car and camping when we feel a need to stop.
Which word could you substitute for rove that tells the reader that it was a carefree and fun trip?
Drift: to move in a random or casual way
Gad: to be on the go without specific aim or purpose
Gallivant: to go about, or roam for pleasure
Saunter: to walk about in a leisurely way
I believe the answer is C.
Yep, C sounds good bc roam usually means without care. Like you roaming in a store.
It is C.
Yes, you are correct. The word "gallivant" could be substituted for "rove" to convey the sense of a carefree and fun trip.
To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the meaning of each option and match it with the intended tone. Let's go through them:
1. "Drift" generally means to move randomly or casually, but it does not necessarily convey a sense of fun or pleasure.
2. "Gad" refers to being on the go without a specific aim or purpose, which might indicate a spontaneous trip but does not necessarily imply a carefree or enjoyable experience.
3. "Gallivant" means to go about or roam for pleasure, and it perfectly captures the idea of a fun and carefree trip, making it the best choice.
4. "Saunter" means to walk about in a leisurely way, which can also indicate a relaxed and enjoyable journey, but it does not specifically convey the idea of traveling by car and camping.
Therefore, the correct answer is "gallivant" (option C). Well done!
