Question

Which of the following sentences uses the word "bank" with the same meaning as in the following sentence?

"The river overflowed its bank after the storm."

The correct answer is

They enjoyed a picnic on the grassy bank of the stream.

In the given sentence, 'bank' means the raised land along the edge of a river.

We must find the option using 'bank' in this same sense of a river or stream edge.

Option D speaks of a picnic on the grassy bank of the stream, which is exactly the land beside flowing water.

In A 'bank' is a financial institution, in B it is a verb meaning to heap up soil, and in C it means to tilt an aircraft, so all differ in meaning.

Hence the matching usage is They enjoyed a picnic on the grassy bank of the stream.
