Read the excerpt from "The Fall of the House of Usher." From that chamber, and from that mansion, I fled aghast. The storm was s

This excerpt follows a grave, slow tone. After Madeleine Usher's return from the grave, the narrator flees in full speed, and all the pasage becomes enraged with fierce, quick action, first represented in the storn, and then with the "wild light" that is "shot along the path", which may be taken for lightning, but an unnatural source of this light is suggested as the narrator wonders what might be the origin of this "gleam so unusual". The reader is thus taken from the realm of nature into the realm of the unnatural or supernatural.

Word Study Units 4-6
Novosadov [1.4K]

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.
