Passage:
Vacationing on a motorcycle, you see things in a way that is completely different from any other. In a car you are always in a compartment, and because you are used to it you do not realise that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You are a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. On a motorcycle, however, the frame is gone. You are completely in contact with it all. You are in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming.
The word ‘overwhelming’ means
- Avery strong
- Bunavoidable
- Cinteresting
- Dhumorous
Explanation
'Overwhelming' describes something so powerful that it is hard to resist or manage; in this context, the writer's feeling of being in the scene. Among the choices, 'very strong' is the closest synonym. 'Unavoidable', 'interesting' and 'humorous' miss the sense of intensity. Hence option (a) is correct.
