The correct answers are as follows:

1.  He took the rain and stormy weather as an <u><em>ominous</em></u> sign that his day would not go well.

The word, ominous, is an adjective that describes and foreshadows something dark, worrying, or a "bad" that is expected to happen. In the sentence, someone is interpreting rainy and stormy weather as a sign or dark omen that foreshadows a bad day. Another way to use ominous in a sentence could be: "Her ominous prophecy came true."

Melancholy can also be used in a sentence as follows: "The mood at the funeral can only be described as melancholy."

3. The frog had a sleek body that twisted in a <u><em>sinuous</em></u> way as it leaped.

Sinuous can be defined as having several curves, twists and turns, or moving in a lithe and agile manner. A snake and cat can be described as moving in a lithe and sinuous way. In this instance, a frog is described as moving, by twisting it's body, by turning and twisting agilely.

4. He had to apologize for using <u><em>profane </em></u>language; they were threatening to kick him out of camp.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Because he wanted to indicate that the soldiers were whispering.

Explanation:

In comic book stories the shape of the balloons represents specific characteristics of the characters' tone of voice. Balloons that represent common voice tones are drawn with a simple and normal line, however, balloons formed by a cut line mean that the character is speaking so softly that he is whispering.

These elements in the stories are important because comics do not have a narrator to indicate the tone of voice that the characters are using.
