Which word best fits the connotation of the sentence below?

The light breeze blew through the copse of trees in the woods.

A. harshly
B. bitterly
C. brightly
D. easily

D. easily

Explanation:

Let's figure out the tone of the sentence here:

"The light breeze blew through the copse of trees in the woods."

The word "light" gives a sense of peacefulness and ease, something nice and airy without a negative aspect to it. From that, we can definitely eliminate A (harshly) and B (bitterly) because those words lend a kind of bad aura around the sentence.

Now look at "brightly" and "easily". Usually, since a breeze can be felt but not seen, we wouldn't describe it as "bright"; instead we usually describe a nice, light breeze as "easy".

The answer is thus D.
