Question

In the sports section of the local newspaper, a reporter wrote, "Lorton's experienced quarterback performed well in handling Jefferson High's Eagles a crushing defeat." Which word in this sentence is considered loaded?

a. Experienced
b. Defeat
c. Well
d. Crushing

Answer 1

I believe "D. Crushing" is your answer.

The sentence doesn't need "crushing".

It would look like this:

"Lorton's experienced quarterback performed well in handling Jefferson High's Eagles defeat."

This sentence is much better than the original one.
