All right, this time we're looking for a word that means something similar to "moving
- 00:25
from post to post."
- 00:26
So whatever this word is, it's really hard to pin down...
- 00:29
(A) is a definite no, because "native" means that someone is from a specific place.
- 00:34
(B) doesn't fit either. "Settled" is the opposite of what we're looking for.
- 00:38
(D) is off the list for the same reason. Someone who's "steady" wouldn't exactly move
- 00:42
around a lot.
- 00:43
(C) isn't what we're looking for. Some might think it's "boring" to move around a lot...
- 00:48
...but it'd be a strange fit for this sentence. "Nomadic" means to move frequently without
- 00:54
settling down permanently in one place. (E) is the correct answer.
