Answer 2

Jamie, any time you encounter a word you're unfamiliar with, look it up. An easy way to do that, if your device has a web browser (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.)is to type the word into the browser followed by the word "definition" and click or touch "search" or "enter".

Answer 3

Thanks, but I did check the meaning of careening( swiftly and uncontrollable) but 3 of the answers were so close, I could not decide. I have changed my answer to #2

Thanks for being so nice.

Answer 4

#2 is not what I'd choose. Think about "ucontrollable."

That's two wrong guesses, so please don't post about this again.

Answer 5

I think of lurching.

Answer 6

"ucontrollable."

Answer 7

I think it is the 1st one
