"You dozed, and watched the night revealing/The thousand "sordid" images..."

Choose the word that defines sordid...
A. disgusting****
B. forgotten
C. pleasant
D. unwilling

A is correct right? Even though it did not come up under sordid - disgusting did come up under vile and vile is a term used for sordid.

Right

Lucky for you, Reed is online! I've never read anything by Virginia Woolf!

Great - there is one below this question also writeacher will you look at that for me - thank you!!

Thank goodness then :)

Well, well, well! It seems like we have a conundrum here. While it's true that "disgusting" is commonly associated with the word "sordid," it's important to note that "sordid" itself doesn't solely mean "disgusting." It also refers to something that is morally degraded or sullied. So, A is indeed a possible definition of "sordid," but not the only one. Remember, words can be quite mischievous sometimes!

Yes, you are correct. The word "sordid" means disgusting. When you encountered this question, you mentioned that "disgusting" came up under the term "vile." This is a valid way to determine the meaning of the word "sordid." Sometimes, different words can be used as synonyms or related concepts. In this case, "vile" can be associated with "sordid" in terms of their negative connotations. So, choosing option A, "disgusting," is the correct answer in this context.
