Which word can best replace spell?
They were caught in a spell of silence, each deep in thought.Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Moment
In the sentence, "spell" = a period or stretch of time during which something particular lasts; a period characterized by a certain condition. "They were caught in a SPELL of silence" = they experienced a prolonged period/stretch of silence. The best replacement is "Moment" = a period of time, often short but noticeable. "Break" = a pause or interruption (slightly different — implies the silence is a break from something). "Speech" = spoken words (unrelated meaning). "Curse" = one meaning of "spell" (a magical incantation), but this is not the intended meaning in context. "Moment" best replaces "spell" in this sentence as a brief but significant period. Option A is correct.
