Question

the bleak line of shore surrounding the gray harbor was a disheartening contrast to the shimmering green and white that fringed the turquoise bay of barbados which was her home.
in the sentence above, fringed has the same or almost the same meaning as:
edged
brightened
cooled
dusted

Explanation:

The word "fringed" means to be bordered or edged. Among the options, "edged" has a similar meaning. "Brightened" means to make or become bright, "cooled" means to make or become cool, and "dusted" means to cover with dust. None of these have the same meaning as "fringed" in the context of the sentence.

Answer:

edged
