Read the paragraph. When I was a kid, my family rented a small house Florida. It was a short walk down a weed-choked path to the small lake where my sister and I liked to go fishing. One day, just as the sun rose above the trees, we walked down the path and realized our way was blocked by a fallen tree. As we approached, the tree moved. This was no tree, this was a alligator.

Which word most precisely describes the alligator?

large
big
huge
bulky
