1. An argumentative essay should be written with precise words that create a respectful tone. To arrive at this answer, we can analyze the question and eliminate the other options.
Firstly, we can eliminate "angry" as it suggests an aggressive or confrontational tone, which may not be appropriate for an argumentative essay. Next, "emotional" is also incorrect because it implies a subjective and personal tone rather than an objective and logical one typically associated with argumentative writing. Lastly, we can eliminate "boring" as it implies a dull and uninteresting tone, which is not a desirable quality for an essay aiming to engage and persuade the reader.
Therefore, "respectful" is the most appropriate answer. It suggests a tone that is courteous, unbiased, and engenders a sense of mutual respect between the writer and the reader.
2. Based on the clues in the sentence, the best meaning for the underlined word "stingy" is "miserly." To arrive at this answer, we can analyze the sentence and consider the options provided.
The word "stingy" suggests someone who is unwilling to spend money or resources generously. In the context of the sentence, the speaker is most likely describing an individual who is not willing to part with their resources or behaves in a way that suggests they are frugal or unwilling to share.
From the options provided, "miserly" is the best choice as it aligns with the meaning of "stingy" and describes someone who is excessively frugal or unwilling to spend money. The other option, "careful," does not fully capture the negative connotation associated with "stingy," and "wasteful" is the opposite meaning, suggesting someone who spends money or resources recklessly.
