Question and options
Fill up the blank with the appropriate word.
A __________ of snow settled on the sleeping dog’s face.
- bunch
- piece
- flake
- handful
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - flake
Snow falls as individual flakes, so a single piece of falling snow is “a flake of snow”. “A handful of snow” would be scooped up, not settle on the dog’s face, and “a bunch” or “a piece” of snow is not the idiomatic phrase.
