This refers to a considerable inland body of standing water, also an expanded part of a river.

• A. Pool
• B. Lake
• C. Pond
• D. Creek

Answer: (B)

The

distinction here hinges on size and whether the water is still or moving. A lake is a large inland body of standing water, often occupying a broad basin and capable of forming where a river widens or where water collects in a natural basin. It fits the description of a considerable inland, still expanse and can occur as an expanded part of a river that becomes a wide, still body. In contrast, a pool denotes a small, shallow, often briefly still patch; a pond is a still body of water but smaller than a lake; a creek is a small stream with flowing water. So the large, still inland water is best described as a lake.
