‘Manners maketh the man,’ I’ve heard tell,

Question

And ‘you are what you wear’ others say
‘As thou sow, shalt thou reap’
May haunt your night’s sleep,
If you think of the words you pray. (lines 1-5)
Which of the following words could replace haunt in these lines without changing their overall meaning?

Answer choices for the above question

scare

roam

revisit

interrupt

Answer 1

The word that could replace "haunt" in those lines without changing their overall meaning is "revisit."

While "haunt" implies a lingering presence or reminder, "revisit" similarly suggests coming back to mind, maintaining the intended idea that the words you pray can repeatedly occupy your thoughts, especially at night.

The other options, "scare," "roam," and "interrupt," don't carry the same connotation as "haunt" in this context.
