Hello there! :D

Let's look at the context of the word 'menace'. A fun example of this word would be the movie "Denis the Menace" if you have ever seen that! A menace is supposed to constitute a person or thing that is seen doing an annoyance or being a threat. Keep in mind: This can be a noun, verb, and descriptive word. We are looking for a verb because the question is "Which sentence uses the word menace as a verb meaning "to threaten or bother"?"

Now we can take a look at the answer choices:

A: Mosquitos can be a real menace at the campsite, so be sure to bring your bug spray!

<em>This answer shows an annoyance or disturbance because of the mosquitos, but it is acting as a noun because the mosquitos are the menace. </em>

B: Teenagers have been known to menace their neighbors in a teasing game called ding-dong-ditch.

<em>This answer does show annoyance, and the teenagers are doing the action of "menacing" so this could be the best answer. </em>

C: The menace in the bully's voice led the student to hand over the lunch money immediatley.

<em>The word menace is acting as a descriptie word, not a verb. This is not the right answer. </em>

D: The court decided to put him in detention because he was a menace to the community.

<em>In this sentence, the word menace is used to describe "him" and not an action. This is not the right answer either!</em>

<em />

So, I think it is safe to say the best answer is "B". This is the only sentence where menace acts like a verb. I hope this helped you answer some context questions in the future, and keep in mind, having this skill can help you greatly in the future with the SAT, ACT, and overall workforce!

Have a wonderful day,

Kai xx

Reread the beginning of Chapter Fourteen―the section in which the Giver shows Jonas what it’s like to have a broken leg. How doe
kobusy [5.1K]

It can be inferred that when Giver transmits some of his memory to Jonas, Jonas begins to feel some of the pain, Giver on the other hand begins to fell lighter. The above story is from "The Giver" by Lois Lowry.

<h3>What is the central idea of The Giver?</h3>

The importance of memory in human life is one of The Giver's most fundamental topics.

After visiting her aging father, who had lost much of his long-term memory, Lowry was inspired to create The Giver.

The Giver tells the narrative of a civilization where everything looks to be great, pleasant, and tranquil. There is no pain, sorrow, prejudice, bigotry, or anything else. It sounds fantastic, thanks in large part to the Sameness.

Unfortunately, the Sameness did not simply eliminate negative human feelings. The civilization does not know joy, pleasure, or love. In fact, when the people resolved to follow the Sameness, they even forgot about such things.

Jonas learns more about the Sameness and its consequences as he spends more time with the Giver. Jonas finally concludes that a civilization that lacks the ability to experience or recall any form of emotion isn't truly living.
