So, I was doing a vocabulary test and I came across this one. It's a multiple choice question, with only one possible answer . I'm really baffled by this, because I believe both variants are possible.
Anyway, here's the full question:
I was kept awake for most of the night by the _____________ of a mosquito in my ear.
a) whine
b) moan
c) groan
d) screech
Which one would you guys recommend?
PS Please don't think I'm trying to get a better mark at your expense. This is only my homework, which is not going to be assessed. As a linguist, I'm actually encouraged to research such things and bring them to class.
