WRONG!
To determine which sentence suggests the meaning of the word "interminable," let's first understand the definition of the word.
"Interminable" means something that is endless, or feels like it goes on forever.
Now, let's analyze each sentence to see which one suggests this meaning:
A. "I had a hard time believing his stories." This sentence does not suggest that something is endless or goes on forever. It simply indicates doubt or skepticism about the stories.
B. "His story seemed to go on forever." This sentence suggests the meaning of "interminable" because it implies that the story feels endless or never-ending.
C. "He was willing to bet on anything." This sentence does not provide any clue about something being endless or going on forever. It describes someone's willingness to take risks.
D. "He was outsmarted by a stranger." This sentence does not suggest that something is interminable. It describes someone being deceived by an unknown person.
Therefore, the sentence that suggests the meaning of "interminable" is B. "His story seemed to go on forever."
