Read the meanings of the word bolt, then read the sentence. definition 1. n., a screw for fastening definition 2. n., a strike of lightning definition 3. n., a bar that slides to lock something definition 4. n., a roll of fabric or wallpaper answer correctly, and ! im marking branliest make sure you latch the bolt on the window when you close it tonight. what is the meaning of bolt as it is used in this sentence? definition 1 definition 2 definition 3 definition 4

The best fit definition for this example would be definition 3. Definition 2 doesn't apply to closing a window correctly so that is already out of the question.   A bolt that is part of a window isn't made out of fabric so definition 4 is out as well. Now that it's down to 1 and 3, considering it says "please make sure you latch the bolt", keep in mind that the definition of 'latch' is "a metal bar with a catch and lever used for fastening a door or gate" so choice number 3 would best fit :) Hope this helps! x
