Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. shake.

Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options:-

  1. shake- to move (somebody/something) from side to side or up and down with short, quick movements.
  2. see- to become conscious of something, using your eyes; to use the power of sight.
  3. move- to change position or to put something in a different position.
  4. avoid- to prevent something happening or to try not to do something.

"Shake" which means "to move (somebody/something) from side to side or up and down with short, quick movements" fits the context appropriately.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
