motion/action/movement
I only like fims that have got plenty of action/motion/movement.
The time has come for action/motion/movement.
Her quick action/motion/movement saved his life.
Loose clothing gives you greater freedom of action/motion/movement.
I detected a slight action/motion/movement in the undergrowth.
Is it only my illusion that the three words between slashes overlap a lot in meanings? Or is it true? Could you help me pick out the right word in the above samples? Thanks.
