Which word is a synonym for wriggled?

• A. Jumped
• B. Stood
• C. Slithered
• D. Danced

Answer: (C)

Wriggled means to move in a twisting, squirming way, often close to the ground. A word that matches that sense is slithered, which describes moving smoothly in a snake-like, sinuous motion. This captures the same idea of twisting, contorted movement rather than leaping or standing still. Jumped implies leaping; stood means no movement; danced suggests rhythmic, often upright movement. So slithered is the best fit because it preserves the image of twisting, low, contorted motion that wriggling conveys.
