devon was nervous at the thought of speaking in front of a
large audience.
which word could a translator use to replace the underlined word
without changing the meaning of the sentence?

a. worried

b. excited

c. pleased

d. angry

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the meaning of "nervous" and the options. "Nervous" in this context means feeling anxious or worried about speaking in front of a large audience.

• Option A: "Worried" has a similar meaning (feeling anxious or troubled), so it can replace "nervous" without changing the sentence's meaning.
• Option B: "Excited" means feeling enthusiastic or eager, which is not the same as nervous.
• Option C: "Pleased" means feeling happy or satisfied, which is different from nervous.
• Option D: "Angry" means feeling annoyed or resentful, which is not related to nervous.

Answer:

A. Worried
