<p>so I think revival is correct…even if it’s not a tough word</p>
<p>The noun spate has 3 meanings:</p>
<p>Meaning #1: (often followed by `of’) a large number or amount or extent
Synonyms: batch, deal, flock, good deal, great deal, hatful, heap, lot, mass, mess, mickle, mint, muckle, peck, pile, plenty, pot, quite a little, raft, sight, slew, stack, tidy sum, wad, whole lot, whole slew</p>
<p>Meaning #2: a sudden forceful flow
Synonyms: rush, surge, upsurge</p>
<p>Meaning #3: the occurrence of a water flow resulting from sudden rain or melting snow
Synonym: freshet</p>
<p>Meaning #1 fits in well.</p>
<p>but the sentence emphasized that the movies or whatever were coming back to the public after a long period of neglect, so revive…</p>
<p>I had revival.</p>
<p>up…</p>
<p>revival fits in better. But it seems too easy for a last quesiton so i was confused. i put revival at last.lol</p>
<p>I think spate is right…The sentence was like: New elizabethan movies…blablabla…How can “NEW” movies have a revival?</p>
<p>this question was odd… anyway, i put revival, though…</p>
<p>Ralleystripes has a point. NEW can’t be a revival. Does anyone say “It’s a revival of new movies set in the Elizabethan times?” Because I don’t.</p>
<p>hmm… I thought it said what hyper222 said about the movies set in the Elizabethan times coming back into popularity. I was under the impression that new movies were being set in the Elizabethan times, a ‘revival’ of popularity/interest of that era.</p>
<p>I don’t remember this question at all. Refresh? What were other answer options?</p>
<p>yeah…exactly what I meant, pian0jazz</p>
<p>This question was one of the last few in the sentence completion questions, which is why it’s so tricky. They make you THINK that it’s “revival” because it’s so closely related to the concept of “renewal” but you need to be sharp enough to see the word “new” in describing the movies. So yeah, I think it’s “spate”! :)</p>
<p>i put revival but it was a easy word 
it might be wrong :(</p>
<p>Yes, I saw the NEW and that is exactly why I put down spate! :)</p>
