Which term means to tell someone what something or someone is like, or to give an account of something in words?

• A. Position
• B. Topic
• C. Describe
• D. Explain

Answer: (C)

Describing means telling what something or someone is like in words, by sharing features, appearance, or characteristics. That matches the prompt’s idea of giving an account of something in words. The other options don’t fit as neatly: position refers to stance or location, topic is the subject being discussed, and explain involves giving reasons or how something works, which goes beyond simply describing what something is like.
