Question 8

The sentence that uses 'snake' as a verb is A.

In this context, 'snake' is used as a verb in the sentence "The spy had to snake his way furtively onto the train," indicating the action of moving in a stealthy or winding manner.

A) The spy had to snake his way furtively onto the train.

This option correctly employs 'snake' as a verb, illustrating the act of maneuvering stealthily, akin to how a snake moves. It effectively captures the intended meaning of the action described.

B) You are being sneaky when you steal from me.

This sentence does not use 'snake' at all; instead, it describes a behavior using the adjective 'sneaky.' Therefore, it is incorrect in the context of identifying 'snake' as a verb.

C) The plumber used his snake to open up the clogged pipe.

While this sentence contains the word 'snake,' it refers to a tool, not as a verb. The context here is about the action performed with the tool and does not demonstrate the verb form of 'snake.'

D) The cobra is a venomous snake.

In this option, 'snake' is used as a noun to describe a type of reptile. It does not involve any action and thus fails to represent 'snake' functioning as a verb.

Conclusion

Option A is the only choice that correctly uses 'snake' as a verb, demonstrating an action of stealthy movement. The other options either do not use 'snake' at all or employ it in a noun form, which does not fulfill the requirement of the question.
