Discussion
Choose the appropriate word/phrase, out of the four options given below, to complete the following sentence:
Apparent lifelessness ____________ dormant life.
Answer: A
The word that completes the sentence is harbours: apparent lifelessness harbours dormant life.
To harbour is to hold or shelter something within, often hidden. The sentence says that what looks lifeless, such as a seed or a frozen pond, actually contains life that is only dormant, so it hides that life inside it.
Leads to would mean lifelessness causes dormant life, which is not the sense. Supports suggests active help, and affects means acting on something; neither expresses dormant life being held concealed within.
