Felix wants to replace the word rusted, so he uses his thesaurus and finds the following entries: rust, v. corrode, oxidize, tarnish rust, n. corrosion, oxidation, decay, decomposition Which word would best replace rusted in the original sentence?
I'm pretty sure the correct answer here would be "Tarnish" it means that it went bad or the color dulled. I would say "Corrode" but that generally means to dissolve.
