Question

mood and sensory language quick check
the reward of enterprise
by ward muir
it was overwhelming. never in all my life have i attained to a rapture comparable with that bathe in mid - atlantic. i knew, even at the time, that it would be unforgettable. i had aspired to be able to say that i had swum in water three miles deep... oh, never mind what vain boast i had promised myself. boasting was forgotten. i was surrendered to an ecstasy, an enchantment, beyond expression grandiose and delicious. i lolled in the pellucid water, not troubling to swim. i let myself go, in those dizzy soarings and sinkings. i abandoned myself to this vast and beautiful force, i felt at once infinitely little and infinitely great.

similar different
let myself go abandoned myself attained desired

Explanation:

• "Surrendered" implies giving oneself over to a feeling or state. "Let myself go" and "abandoned myself" have similar connotations of relinquishing control and giving in to an experience (in this case, the ecstasy of being in the water).
• "Attained" means to achieve or reach something (like a goal), which is different from the idea of surrendering. "Desired" means to want something, also a different concept from surrendering.

Answer:

• Similar: let myself go, abandoned myself
• Different: attained, desired
