so whats the answer
@Reed the italicized words are DISMAL DEEM BESEECH and SYMPATHIZE
To determine the correct answer, we need to identify which sentence uses the italicized word incorrectly.
a. "The dismal news was welcomed by everyone" - The word "everyone" is used correctly here to refer to all people.
b. "The judges deem her poems to be the best" - The word "deem" is used correctly here, meaning that the judges consider her poems to be the best.
c. "The oysters beseech the walrus to stop" - The word "beseech" is used correctly here to mean that the oysters are urgently and earnestly requesting the walrus to stop.
d. "I sympathize with the lost child" - The word "sympathize" is used correctly here to express understanding or compassion towards the lost child.
Therefore, all of the sentences use the italicized word correctly, and none of them use it incorrectly.
