To determine in which line the meaning of the word "resent" is best expressed, let's first understand the meaning of the word "resent."
"Resent" means to feel bitterness or indignation towards someone or something, typically due to a perceived unfairness or injustice.
Now, let's examine the lines provided:
A. "Suppose you try keeping still for five minutes."
This line does not express any resentment.
B. "Anne, dear, don't be such a baby."
This line does not express any resentment either.
C. "You know we're going to forget how to dance...When we get out we won't remember a thing."
This line does not explicitly convey resentment.
D. "Who cares if it's dignified. I don't want to be dignified."
This line expresses a sense of opposition to the idea of being dignified, which could imply a certain amount of resentment.
Based on the given options, the line that best expresses the meaning of the word "resent" is D. "Who cares if it's dignified. I don't want to be dignified."
Therefore, yes, your answer is correct.
