Hello!

The sentence that uses the correct bolded vocabulary word is the final sentence.

Why?

In the first sentence, the word "strained" is used incorrectly because this form of straining means to drain the water from the noodles.

In the second sentence, "clamorous" noise is loud, and for it to lull the babies to sleep would be paradoxical (meaning it would make no sense).

In the third sentence, "season" means to add a substance to the pot roast to enhance it's flavor. Draining the oil from the roast generally does not enhance the flavor.

Answer:

The fourth option is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fourth option uses the word "plague" in a grammatically correct way, indicating the cause of death of many people in a given year, for this reason this option is correct.

The same cannot be observed in other sentences that use words that remove the cohesion from the sentence and offer a text without coherence or meaning.
