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

Use language that's easy-to-understand. If there's a piece of vocabulary that you feel needs clarifying, define it!

Nobody likes a short, one-word-answer. Let’s make sure other people understand everything.

Explain everything. Imagine that the person who was asking, knows nothing at all so you need to start from the very beginning.

What is the poem prevision about
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

I immediately start thinking of Anne Morrow Lindberg's classic book Gift from the Sea. Another poem I also think of is "Fear" by Gabriela Mistral. Kilmer's poem, especially 13-16, are ready-made for tombstones. "My heart shall keep the child I knew/When you are really gone from me,/And spend its life remembering you/As shells remember the lost sea." This is a poem from a mother's heart, where grief has pierced it beyond the presenthour. It's the brief moments she clings to, and then must acknowledge the brevity of the precious life that was given to her in the form of the child. Lines 11-12 tug at the visual, "A mist about your beauty clings/Like a thin cloud before a star."

Is "someone else asked me if my family ate dogs every day or only once in a while" is an example of a hyperbole
MArishka [77]

A hyperbole is an exaggeration of a description or event. I do not think that statement is exaggerated, so no. It is not a hyperbole.
