Rumbling
- Deep sound
- Squeaky sound
- Sharp sound
- Silent
Correct Answer

A. Deep sound

Explanation

The word "rumbling" typically refers to a deep, low-pitched sound. This is usually associated with a continuous or prolonged noise that is often caused by something large or powerful. "Squeaky" and "sharp" sounds are high-pitched and usually short in duration, while "silent" means no sound at all. Therefore, "deep sound" is the most appropriate choice to describe the word "rumbling".

The word "bulky" is the best fit among the given options as it contrasts with "massive". "Bulky" means large, heavy, and difficult to move or handle, which is opposite in meaning to "massive". The other options, "tiny", "salty", and "long", do not provide an opposite meaning to "massive". Therefore, "bulky" is the correct answer.

Lagoon
