What is the correct meaning of the word interpret?

to explain

Explanation:

The word ''interpret'' is a verb if we are talking about parts of speech.

It means ''to explain'' and it can also mean to tell the meaning of something. It is usually used when it comes to literary works. It can mean also to conceive, to show the idea, to describe the meaning of something.

It can be used in sentences like:

''He had no idea how to interpret the warning of the sign that he saw on the roadway.''

''Uncertain how to interpret the response, Mike had asked someone else to help him.''

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
