Read the following line from "Jabberwocky," by Lewis Carroll.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Based on context clues, which words could best replace the nonsense words "gimble” and "wabe”?

“swim” and “water”
“walk” and “earth”
“shake” and “wind”
“dance” and “fire”
