Question

Which sentence includes a word that is used incorrectly?

The dilapidated house had a hole in the roof and part of the front porch was sunken in.

She loathed the soothing sounds of a mother singing a lullaby to her baby.

The doctor was able to diagnose the disease and help the patient.

We were relieved to feel the balmy weather after five cold, rainy days out of seven.

Answer 1

She loathed the soothing sounds of a mother singing a lullaby to her baby.

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test :) Have a nice night/day

Answer 2

"She 'loathed' the soothing sounds of a mother singing a lullaby to her baby." is used incorrectly

Step-by-step explanation:

Loathed is used incorrectly, as it is contradicting the rest of the sentence, which confuses the reader. The word loathed means dreaded, and you absolutely hate it. But if you 'loathe' something soothing and happy, that does not make sense.

Hope this helps! :)
