Replace the bold words in the following sentence to make the tone of the sentence foreboding or ominous. Then, explain your word choice.
Christopher pedaled his bike energetically toward the ice cream shop, eager to be on time.
Christopher pedaled his bike ominously toward the ice cream shop, driven to be on time.
I chose the word "ominously" to replace "energetically" because it implies a sense of foreboding or threat. By using this word, it creates a tone in the sentence that suggests something dark or sinister may be approaching. It adds a level of tension or unease to what would otherwise be a simple, cheerful action of riding a bike to get ice cream.
