Answer:
1. Council members <u>deplored</u> the outbreak of violence in areas close to schools.
2. Several of the old buildings still retained the <u>ornate</u> ceilings and banisters that were typical of the eighteenth century.
3. During economic hardships, most people find <em><u>prodigal</u></em> spenders offensive.
Explanation:
The corresponding and appropriate vocabulary for the bolded words in the given sentences are changed as follows-
1. In replacing "grumbled about" with "deplored", they imply the same attitude but with much more strong opposition. While mere grumbling may suggest complaints and disinterest, 'deplored' gives a sense of strongly disapproving of the plan.
2. The word "stylish" can be replaced by "ornate" as they both imply the same decorative sense of the ceiling. But at the same time, "ornate" gives the sense of a more beautiful, better-decorated piece than the simple word "stylish".
3. The word "big" in describing the spenders is plain and can just describe any shopper who spends a lot. But the use of "prodigal" in describing the spenders gives the sense of unnecessary spending. This word gives more voice to the disapproving tone about such spenders.
Tone is the author's attitude toward the speech. Since we know that Dr. King was the author and presenter of the speech, this was one of inspiration, seriousness, hope, and encouraging. This is not to be confused with mood. Mood is your feelings from the text. So, while the tone may be one of hope, to say it was 'hopeful' would be a mood (if that is indeed what you are feeling when hearing it.)
It’s not grammatically correct. It should be...
Kitty and Briana’s parents were pleased because the girls enjoyed their time at the center.
A run-on sentence is a sentence having two independent clauses with improper punctuation and without conjunctions. The correct answer is option b. It is difficult to understand a run-on sentence because you cannot identify where to pause or stop and that the sentence does not have conjunctions which would help in the transition of clauses.
