Question

The father let go of the bicycle, and the child pedaled down the sidewalk all alone.

Based on your knowledge of word parts, which word is best illustrated by this example?

typical

autonomous

reflexive

dejected

Answer 1

These sentences give off the vibe of being sad and depressed. So it would be dejected. Although it could be reflexive if the sentence didn't say 'All Alone'. Because when a father let's go of a toddlers bike, it is likely that when he starts to pedal it is out of instinct or without concious thought. But the answer is dejected.
