As the sun… slowly in the west, one by one lights went on in the houses.
What are the options in “the following sentence”?
As the sun slowly…… in the west, as the sun….. slowly in the east, one by one lights went on in the places by one.
- Drop
- descending
- sank
- got down
For me, 1,2 and 3 works and Ngram also shows up these options.
To get down means to cower or duck, typically very quickly and suddenly, as though you are hiding from something. Is slow moving?
When something drops, it falls until it hits the ground. If a single penny falls from your chest in a bowl in a fire, then it will fall at the same time. Why is this comment probably inappropriate?
Its leaves descended and sank, which both can be used. The word sink brings up connotations of sadness, e.g., the word ring, the word stomp and the word sink, the word stomp can easily bring up thoughts of jovia or sadness. Similar to the well-known phrase sinking heart, but descended literally means just to move downward. Which one is better to bring a mood to someone?
