Hello Da Fash!
Sure, I'd be happy to help you check if your answer is correct.
To determine the meaning of the bold word, "sullenly," we can break down the sentence and examine the context in which it appears.
In the sentence, the character is saying, "I won't touch it" in a particular manner. This manner is described by the word "sullenly."
To find the meaning of "sullenly," we can look for clues in the sentence itself. The sentence suggests that the character's tone or attitude is reflected in the word "sullenly."
Now let's look at the answer choices provided:
a) sulkily
b) savagely
c) suspiciously
d) swiftly
Based on the given context, the character is not acting in a fierce or violent manner (savagely) or exhibiting suspicion (suspiciously) or performing quickly (swiftly). However, the word sulkily seems to fit the context well because it suggests a sense of sulking or being gloomy, which matches the character's response in the sentence.
So, your answer of A) sulkily seems to be correct.
Well done, and I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
