    Solution

    The word ‘rippled’ means ‘to (cause to) move in small waves’. it is correct here. Polarise- to cause something, especially something that contains different people or opinions, to divide into two completely opposing groups. Bastion- a part of the wall of a castle that sticks out from it in order to protect it. On tenterhooks- worried or nervous about something that is going to happen.
