The denotation of a word is its dictionary definition.
"Lurid" means "vivid," but in an unpleasant way.
Something soothing has a calming effect; this is essentially the opposite of lurid. Invisible means literally "not visible" - more to do with senses than having a vividly unpleasant feeling. To be attentive is to be alert or aware, which does not fit our definition above. That leaves shocking, which is a feeling of unwelcome surprise or dismay; this is correct.
Answer:
Shocking
Answer:
<em>The weather in 1890-1891 led to the Great Famine of 1891; the czarist government’s reaction damaged the people’s trust in and loyalty to the imperial monarchy.</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
Orlando Figes in the 2014 book: "Revolutionary Russia" pointed at the the famine of 1890-1891 as the beginning of the eventual revolution against the Imperial Czar family. According to Figes, the famine of 1890-1891 was so sever that crops froze without germination, farm animals died on the roadside in the winter, and the summer came with blowing dusts. The Czar, who was already despised by his subjects, first responded authoritatively by ordering the press to not call the event a "famine." The monarchy brought in food and relief materials that the peasant considered unappealing, and the manner in which it was distributed only aggravated their pain. At this stage, the people had lost trust and loyalty in their monarchy, and the resentment only grew over the years.

Answer:
When I was eighteen I decided I wanted to travel alone. I bought a ticket to Australia, I packed my bags and I left for the airport. I had to do a scale in Italy and then I had to take the flight there to go to Australia. I had to wait four more hours and I was sleepy so I decided to take a nap and set an alarm to wake up in time for my flight. But I didn't. I missed it and I got stranded in the airport for one whole day. It was the first thing that went wrong but not the only one. When I finally arrived to Australia, I had a lot of bad experiences. I felt lonely, I lost money and I missed home. However, I also made friends for life, I discovered amazing landscapes and I had the time of my life. So, nevertheless, it was my best experience.
