1 answer

To determine which quotation indicates the meaning of "languid," we need to consider the definition of the word. "Languid" typically describes a state of weakness or fatigue, often suggesting a lack of energy or vitality, and can imply a slow or relaxed manner.

Among the options given:

A. "glow softly" – This suggests a gentle illumination, but does not convey the sense of weakness or fatigue consistent with "languid."

B. "glide slowly" – This could imply a lack of energy or effort, which aligns more closely with the meaning of "languid."

C. "ocean's depths" – This phrase does not relate to the meaning of being weak or fatigued.

D. "handfuls of glitter" – This indicates something bright and lively, which contrasts with the meaning of "languid."

The best choice indicating the meaning of "languid" would be:

B. "glide slowly"
