Understanding Vocabulary: Cradle

Explanation:

Hold is the correct answer to the question "Cradle - She cradled her coffee cup in both hands." When someone cradles an object, they are holding it gently and protectively. This is in contrast to options A. Drop, C. Juggle, and D. Release, which all imply letting go of or not maintaining a steady hold on the object. The word cradle suggests care and support, similar to how one might hold a baby.
