Answer 1

The sentence that uses the underlined vocabulary word incorrectly is B) His solace was black and blue from falling off his bike.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that uses the underlined vocabulary word incorrectly is B) His solace was black and blue from falling off his bike. The word 'solace' means comfort or consolation in a time of distress or sadness. In this sentence, it is used incorrectly to describe a physical injury (black and blue).
