1. Let's check your answers one by one:
For question 1, you've chosen option B, which is "i rue the loss of a golden opportunity." To verify if this sentence correctly demonstrates the verb form of the adverb "ruefully," we need to understand the meaning of "ruefully." "Ruefully" means feeling or showing sorrow or regret. Now, let's look at the provided sentence: "i rue the loss of a golden opportunity." Here, "rue" is used as a verb, and it means to feel regret or sorrow. So, your answer is correct. Option B is the sentence that correctly demonstrates the verb form of the adverb "ruefully." Well done!
For question 2, you've chosen option B, which is "high-strung." The question is asking for another possible characteristic of a person described as sensitive. Let's analyze the options:
- "Annoying" does not necessarily describe a sensitive person.
- "High-strung" can be used to describe someone who is easily agitated or nervous, which is a characteristic commonly associated with sensitive individuals. So, your answer is correct. Option B is another possible characteristic of a sensitive person. Good job!
For question 3, you've chosen option C, which is "commandingly." The question is asking for an antonym of the adverb "imploringly." To find the antonym, we need to understand the meaning of "imploringly." "Imploringly" means making an earnest or desperate appeal. Now, let's analyze the options:
- "Beseechingly" means making a fervent or urgent request, which is similar in meaning to "imploringly." Therefore, it is not the antonym.
- "Earnestly" means showing sincere or serious intent, which is also similar to "imploringly," so it is not the antonym either.
- "Commandingly" means in a commanding or authoritative manner. This is the opposite of "imploringly" and can be considered its antonym. Your answer is incorrect. Option C is not the correct antonym. The correct antonym of "imploringly" is option A, which is "beseechingly."
So, to summarize, for question 1, you are correct with option B. For question 2, you are also correct with option B. However, for question 3, the correct answer is option A instead of C.
I agree with your answers, although I prefer C) for number 2.
I agree with Ms. Sue.
