  Q what does the sentence mean?

Answer

1.
hang and danGLE:
Both have the same meaning,something hanging or swinging without anything stopping it.

Swing and sway:
Both mean the same, moving rythmically to and fro, like a hanging object does.

Jump and leap:
They are almost the same, 'leap' being rather a sudden action and quicker than a jump.

Intolerable and intolerant:
Intolerable is something that can't be tolerated, because it is extremely annoying or irritating.
Intolerant is someone lacking respect of the practices or beliefs other than one's own.

Summary and Summation:
Summary refers to a brief account giving the main points of something.
Summation  is the act or process of determining a sum; addition or the result of such an act,it could also mean 'summary'.
