Choose the word that is the closest synonym to the word pulled.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Dragged: This is the correct choice because to drag something means to pull it along the ground, usually with effort. Both words describe moving an object toward yourself or in the direction you are moving.
Pushed: This is the antonym of pull. To push is to move something away from you.
Stopped: This refers to ceasing motion and is unrelated to the direction of a force like pulling.
Rejected: This usually means “to refuse or turn something down which is a figurative concept rather than a physical action like pulling”.
