The chef used a sharp knife to slice the vegetables, creating uniform pieces for the salad. He then drizzled olive oil and vinegar over the greens and added a pinch of salt for flavour. The result was a fresh and crisp salad, ready to be served.
Question :
What is the literal meaning of the phrase "He then drizzled olive oil and vinegar over the greens"?
He poured the liquids quickly over the greens.
He gently sprinkled the liquids over the greens.
He mixed the liquids together before adding them to the greens.
He used a spoon to scoop out the liquids.
The phrase "He then drizzled olive oil and vinegar over the greens" means that the chef poured the liquids gently and slowly, typically in a thin stream, to evenly distribute them over the greens. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
Option A is not the correct answer because it suggests a quicker and less controlled pouring method, which is not implied by the phrase.
Option C is not the correct answer because the phrase doesn't mention mixing the liquids together before adding them to the greens.
Option D is not the correct answer because it introduces the use of a spoon, which is not mentioned in the passage.
