Question

recurring (adjective)
re - cur - ring ri - kar - iŋ
*the repetition of a word or phrase is a good sign that youre onto
a theme. we call those recurring words and images motifs.*
read the quote. what is the meaning of recurring as it is used in this
context?
a glaring
b essential
c vivid
d imposing

Explanation:

The quote mentions "the repetition of a word or phrase" and calls those "recurring words and images motifs". The word "recurring" here implies something that comes back or is repeated. Among the options, "essential" (which means necessary or fundamental) is the closest in meaning as motifs (which are recurring elements) are essential to a theme. "Glaring" means obvious in a bad way, "vivid" means clear and bright, and "imposing" means grand and impressive, none of which fit the context of repetition and being a key part (like motifs are to a theme).

Answer:

B. essential
