Go over lightly
Answer:
SKIM
Hint:
Think of how you might quickly read a long article or how a stone might bounce across water.
Explanation:
"Go over lightly" hints at reading or reviewing something quickly without diving deep. The word "skim" fits perfectly because it means to glance over a surface—like skimming milk or skimming a book’s pages. The clue plays on the double meaning of "lightly," both in terms of physical touch and minimal effort. It’s a straightforward definition with no hidden tricks.
