Correct Answer: Torrent


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

A torrent refers to a strong and fast-flowing stream of water. The term is often used to describe a rushing river or a heavy downpour. It conveys the idea of a forceful and rapid flow, making it the correct one-word substitution for a fast-moving stream of water.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Quake refers to a trembling or shaking movement, typically associated with earthquakes.
  • A volcano pertains to a vent in the Earth's crust that erupts lava, ash, and gases.
  • A fissure refers to a narrow opening or crack.
