A carpenter carves ________ on cab doors. Choose the right word to fill in the blank.
- A
Arabesque
- B
Ornate
- C
Decked
- D
Floral
"Arabesque" refers to intricate, decorative patterns often used in woodwork and carvings, making it the most appropriate word for the kind of design a carpenter might carve on cab doors.
Decked means decorated or adorned, but it’s a verb/adjective, not a thing you carve. You can deck something, but you can’t carve a decked.
Ornate is an adjective meaning heavily decorated. Again, you can’t carve ornate — you can carve ornate patterns.
Floral is an adjective meaning flower-related, not a noun. You can carve floral designs, but not just floral.
