Choose the term for the act of returning to the surface after being submerged.

• A. Resurface
• B. Submerge
• C. Prompt
• D. Exposure

Answer: (A)

Resurface is the verb that means to come back to the surface after being submerged. It specifically describes the upward movement to the top of the water, as when a diver or swimmer returns to the surface. The opposite action is going beneath the surface, which is described by submerge. Prompt means to cause or encourage action, not to describe movement in water, and exposure refers to being exposed to something, not moving to the surface. For example, after diving down, a swimmer resurfaces as they rise back to the top.
