Question

How are the words "whisper" and murmur" similar?

They are the same because the word whisper can be substituted for the word murmur.
They are not the same, because a whisper is more intimate than murmur.
Both words are related to communicating clearly, so these words can be exchanged in a sentence.
Murmur means gossiping, whereas whisper means talking quietly.

Answer 1

The answer would be the first option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Murmur and whisper both mean they are talking not so clearly and in a low voice. Murmur doesn't really mean gossiping and they are both similar so with knowing that, options two, three, and four cancel out.

Answer 2

They are not the same because a whisper is more intimate than murmur

Step-by-step explanation:

Murmur is simply speaking quietly, whispering is used when speaking quietly for the sake of privacy.
