I think D is the best choice, yes.
To determine which of these lines best expresses the meaning of the word "resent," we need to understand what "resent" means. Resent means to feel bitterness or indignation at a perceived unfairness or wrongdoing.
Let's examine each line:
A. "Suppose you try keeping still for five minutes."
This line does not directly express any resentment. It is more of a suggestion or challenge.
B. "Anne, dear, don't be such a baby."
This line does not express resentment either. It is more of a dismissive remark.
C. "You know we're going to forget how to dance...When we get out we wont remember a thing."
In this line, there is no clear expression of resentment. It more conveys a worry or fear about forgetting something due to a situation.
D. "Who cares if it's dignified. I don't want to be dignified."
This line expresses a rejection of being dignified and implies a disregard for societal expectations. While it may not directly mention resentment, it suggests a potential frustration or defiance towards expectations.
Based on the definitions and the context provided, the best expression of resentment can be found in option D.
