    The correct answers are B. After the earthquake in Crete, the water tower leans more than 15 degrees to the right and D. The voters are leaning toward the mayoral candidate with more government experience.

    Explanation:

    The word "Lean" has different meanings, as a verb, this word is used to describe something or someone that bends in a vertical position, agrees or support some position or depends or relies on something. But can also be used as an adjective to describe something that is thin or economical. This means, a word that uses the word "lean" correctly need to use this word as an adjective or adverb and its meaning needs to fit with the meaning of the word.

    This occurs in the sentence "After the earthquake in Crete, the water tower leans more than 15 degrees to the right" in which lean is used as a verb that means to bend in a vertical position to express the position of the water tower. Also, the use of the word lean is correct in "The voters are leaning toward the mayoral candidate with more government experience" as in this lean is the verb that shows support to someone. Additionally, in other sentences "lean" is used as a noun and therefore in other sentences, its use is incorrect.
