Question

Which of the following words, if substituted for the word beaming in paragraph 3, would alter the effect of the sentence LEAST? A. sneering B. grinning C. smirking D. smiling

Answer 1

”Grinning” or “smiling,” depending on the context.

Step-by-step explanation:

”Beaming” is used to describe a bright expression, most typically a smile. (Ex. “The child beamed up at her mother as she was praised.”)

Answer 2

It depends.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would depend on the context, since they are all mean the same general thing. However, they carry different meanings in different contexts. Sneering and smirking in general are more negative and grinning and smiling are more positive. However, smiling and grinning in certain situations can be negative as well.
