Question 9 of 20 Multiple Choice: Please select the best answer and click "submit." Based on the context of the sentence, which word best replaces the word "odious" in the sentence from "The Black Cat," by Edgar Allan Poe? I did not, for some weeks, strike, or otherwise violently ill use it; but gradually very gradually I came to look upon it with unutterable loathing, and to flee silently from its odious presence, as from the breath of a pestilence. A. Lovable B. Horrible C. Joyous D. Sneaky

Answer 1

Yup it is B.Horrible I did the test and it was right!

Answer 2

i would say that it is B: horrible. the reason i say this is because of the context clues i picked up on, and the simple fact that Edger Allan Poe was creepy. it sounds like like he's talking about a living thing, and it sounds as if he doesn't like it, so horrible would be my answer...
Hope this helps:P
