Noun Test 35

‘Blast’ is a single loud explosive sound. Since an explosion is an outburst that causes a loud impact ‘blast’ would be the apt answer. Hence option D is correct. Whereas ‘burst,’ though used to denote a sudden explosive sound, is a short and less forceful sound when compared to ‘blast’, like in the case of a bursting balloon. As the noun in the sentence is ‘an explosion’, ‘burst’ cannot be used to encapsulate the magnitude of the noise created. Thus option C is incorrect.  On the other hand, ‘twang’ is a strong ringing sound that is usually created while pulling the strings of a musical instrument or bow. Hence option A is incorrect. ‘Whir’ cannot be used to denote for an explosion because ‘whir’ is a low continuous sound which is not similar to the loud noise produced by an explosion. Therefore option B is incorrect.

‘Clink’ is a sharp ringing sound that is produced when two metals strike against one another. In the given context, coins are made of metal; therefore the sound produced when they strike against one another is termed ‘clinking’. Hence option D is correct. On the other hand, ‘chime’ cannot be used here because ‘chime’ is a series of melodious ringing sounds, generally produced when a bell or metal bar is tuned. When the coins come into contact with one another the sound produced is not melodious, also it is a single sharp ringing sound and not a series of sounds. Thus option A is incorrect. ‘Chatter’ is a series of short, quick high-pitched sounds. This is usually associated with birds or monkeys. Since the noun in the given sentence is ‘coins’, ‘chatter’ cannot be used. Thus option B is incorrect. Similarly, ‘creak’ is a squeaking sound that is produced when pressure is applied while walking or moving along a surface. Coins don’t produce a squeaky sound, hence option C is incorrect. 

Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
