So it was that on the twenty-ninth day of February, at the beginning of the thaw, this singular person fell out of infinity into Iping village. Next day his luggage arrived through the slush-and very remarkable luggage it was. There were a couple of trunks
indeed, such as a rational man might need, but in addition there were a box of books-big, fat books, of which some were just in
an incomprehensible handwriting and a dozen or more crates, boxes, and cases, containing objects packed in straw, as it
seemed to Hall, tugging with a casual curiosity at the straw-glass bottles.
Which of these is the BEST meaning for the word slush as it is used here?
A)
soft mud; slop; mire
B)
partially melted snow or ice
C)
to walk or proceed through melted snow or ice
D)
nautical grease or fat discarded from a ship's galley
