Which option provides the most precise and vivid word to complete the sentence: 'The old house ____ in the strong wind'?

A moved
B shook
C vibrated
D trembled

✓ Correct Answer: Option D

'Trembled' suggests a rapid, involuntary, and often fearful shaking, which is more evocative and precise for an old house in a strong wind than the more general 'moved,' 'shook,' or 'vibrated.'
