What is a synonym for the word "rotate" in terms of moving an object?

Turn
Swing
Slide
Drop

The correct answer is: Turn

The word "rotate" refers to the action of moving an object around a central point or an axis. A suitable synonym among the choices is "turn," which similarly conveys the idea of altering the position of an object in a circular or pivoting motion. This aligns well with the concept of rotation, as "turning" involves the same circular movement around a point. The other options—swing, slide, and drop—describe different types of movements. "Swing" implies a back-and-forth motion typically within a fixed range, "slide" indicates a smooth, linear movement along a surface, and "drop" suggests a downward motion due to gravity. Therefore, while these words may describe movements, they do not accurately capture the essence of "rotate" in the same way that "turn" does.
