Which of the following definitions of the word gun BEST defines the term as used in the sentence from “Selection 2: No More Interference in Our Personal Lives”?
‛‛
After you reach the end of your pasture, you spot them running down an open stretch of road, and you gun the engine to catch them.
’’
any portable firearm
to shoot with a firearm
slang: a colloquialism for muscles
to cause an engine to increase speed quickly
The last option is the only one that makes the most sense for this scenario. To gun an engine means to quickly speed up or accelerate. The third option has to do with muscles, or biceps, so it is not correct. There is also no mention of a firearm in the example sentence provided, so none of the others would work.
Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!
Stay Brainy!
