The pupils of our eyes contract in the presence of bright light and dilate as the light dims and the room grows darker.

Which word in the sentence would help Isabel understand that dilate means expand?

Eyes cannot withstand either too bright light or too dim light. To decrease the intensity of the light entering, the pupil contracts when eyes are exposed to bright light. ... This a way to adjust the amount of light passing through the eye.
