Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct choice for the sentence is the first option.

Rumbles means to move slowly and heavily. In the context of a train, it conveys the idea of a train moving along the track with a low, continuous, and heavy sound, which is a suitable description.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Rattles: To make a series of short, loud sounds as it moves somewhere.
  • Ripples: To move or make something move in very small waves.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The train rumbles along the track."
