Answer:

Derided

Explanation:

The word "derided" most closely resembles the word "mocked." To deride means to laugh at in contempt or to mock. In this passage, we learn that the character feels himself to be a creature driven and derided, or mocked, by vanity. If we are not able to look a word up in the dictionary, context clues can often give us an inclination as to what the meaning of the word might be.

What’s the most effective change the writer could make to improve the coherence of this paper?
Fittoniya [83]

<span>Predictable Paragraph Organization: </span>To maintain optimal coherency, organize paragraphs in the way that readers are accustomed. For example, unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise, place the topic sentence in the first position of the paragraph. The topic sentence appears in the first position of the paragraph 80% of the time in expository writing. Because of this high percentage, readers expect the main idea of the paragraph to be in this position. Similarly, the thesis statement appears 50% of the time as the last sentence in an essay introduction, so follow this practice as well.

Additionally, the Ancient Greeks developed the rhetorical rules for our writing, and these rules dictate that the most important idea in any communication needs to be stated first. Organize paragraphs with customary and traditional structures to be considerate to your reader.
