Fix the one word that is used incorrectly. In the play's most climactic scene, Prince Edward confronts the king and threatens to
Lilit [14]

The word that is used incorrectly is "diffuse" in "diffuse the situation," where the correct word to be employed would be "defuse," as explained below.

<h3>Diffuse vs. defuse</h3>

Although the verbs "diffuse" and "defuse" sound alike, their meanings are completely different. That is why the use of "diffuse" in the sentence "The queen attempts to diffuse the situation" is incorrect. Let's compare the meaning:

  • To diffuse: to spread something.
  • To defuse: to calm or settle something.

Taking the context into consideration, where a murder seems about to happen, it would make sense for the queen to try to calm or settle the situation - that is, to "defuse" it. It would not make any sense for her to try and spread the situation or "diffuse it".

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the answer provided is correct.

Has anyone ever read "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. If so can you help me? QUESTION IN DETAILS
marissa [1.9K]
I have! It's one of my favorite books. I'd say the theme is centered around the saying, "home is where the heart is." and plays on the magic of childhood. In Mr. Craven, his stern brother, and Mary’s parents, readers have found evidence of a failed and fallen adult world. When Mary first arrives at <span>Misselthwaite in winter, she's spoiled rotten and downright rude. But she begins to garden. And when her flowers sprout in the spring, so does Mary's heart of gold. Hope that helps you! </span>
