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
