Question

5 using the definition, circle the sentence below that uses the word correctly. turbulence (noun) violent or unsteady movement of air /ˈtərbyələns/ or water, or of some other fluid. east we felt some turbulence during the flight. are there any turbulence on the boat?

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first sentence: "We felt some turbulence during the flight." During a flight, air turbulence (violent/unsteady air movement) is common, so this matches the definition of "turbulence" (violent or unsteady movement of air/fluid).
2. Analyze the second sentence: "Are there any turbulence on the boat?" The word "turbulence" is a non - countable noun, and the correct form should be "turbulences" if using "any" in a countable sense, or the sentence structure is incorrect. Also, while water turbulence can occur on a boat, the grammatical error makes this sentence incorrect in usage. So the first sentence uses "turbulence" correctly.

Answer:

We felt some turbulence during the flight.
