Question

Which sentence uses the vocabulary word correctly?

B. The tyrannical little girl smiled sweetly at everybody she saw.

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

None of the other answers use the vocabulary words correctly

Answer 2

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sentence B describes the little girl as "tyrannical," which means "exercising power in a cruel or arbitrary way," and she wouldn't be smiling sweetly if she was like that.

Sentence C says that the molasses oozed "drastically," which means something along the lines of "extremely," and that seems like too strong of a word to describe molasses oozing.

Sentence D describes the field that they picked flowers from as "barren," which means "too poor to produce much or any vegetation," and if the field was really barren. they wouldn't have been able to pick wildflowers from it.

The only sentence that seems to make sense is sentence A, so that is your answer. Have a lovely day!! :)
