Answer:

A synonym for the word "termagant" is the word  "shrew".

Explanation:

The explanation for this is that, according to the dictionary, the word "shrew" is referring to a woman in a bad mood or evil.

With a similar meaning to the word "shrew," the word "Termagant" was the name given to an imaginary god made in Christendom to be worshiped by the Muslims, represented in the mysterious pieces as a violent and domineering character. The word is also used in modern English to mean a violent woman, arrogant, turbulent, brackish and quarrelsome; a virago, shrew, vixen. In the past, the word could be applied to any person or thing personified, not just a woman.

Termagant's definition is "</span><span>a harsh-tempered or overbearing woman."</span>

In paragraph 5, Hitchcock says that an audience “will work like the devil” for him if he tells them all the secrets his characte
erica [24]

Hithcock believes that his audience is moved to the suspense that is affected by the characters, but they like to "play God" and have access to the information before them. Thus Hitchcock states that by showing the public the secrets that the characters do not know, the audience is motivated and anxious to know how these stories will come about and will work hard to disseminate and leaflet the stories for other people to know about them.

This sentence shows how Hitchcock's stories grow and flourish over time, being his purpose for writing, creating stories that are not outdated, as the exciting thing is to see their unfolding and not a possible surprise.
