Explanation

(1) The word 'scary' means frightening or causing fear. The situation describes a boy who is afraid, so 'scary' is the appropriate word. (This is given as an example in the text.) (2) The word 'existed' means to have been present or real in the past. The situation describes something that was there before but is no longer there, matching the meaning of 'existed.' Shaana uses this word when she says 'I never knew such a place existed.' (3) The word 'blink' means to close and open the eyes quickly. The situation describes someone closing and opening their eyes due to flashes of light. Shaana uses this word when she says 'if you blink or stop to tie your shoelaces, you will get lost.' (4) The word 'splashed' means to scatter water about. The situation describes children throwing water at each other in a pool. Shaana uses this word when she says 'Amma and Appa splashed water on each other.' (5) The word 'amazing' means causing wonder or surprise, or being excellent. The situation describes a beautiful place that provided a great experience. Shaana uses this word when she says 'How amazing that a train can travel across the sea like this!' (6) The word 'floating' means to rest or move on the surface of a fluid or in the air without sinking. The situation describes clouds moving across the sky, which is floating. Shaana uses this word when she says she spent the day 'floating and looking at the fish.'
