How I can write a paragraph using the words “scheme, hoard, irreproachable, conspicuous, and ominous??”
wariber [46]
<h3>I would write a "detective" paragraph, including a character they are researching, such as a thief.</h3><h3 />

<em>Sentence examples - </em>

  • ...his hoard of stolen items lurking in his lair.
  • ...with his sinister scheme, waiting for the perfect opportunity to pounce into action.
  • ... slinking into the ominous darkness.
  • Leaving no conspicuous clues at the crime scene...
  • irreproachable idleness of sleep...

Example Paragraph -

I woke from my irreproachable idleness of sleep to the ring of my cell. At the absurd time of 1 am, I drowsily, picked up the phone, answering with a dull "Hello". A panicked and angry storekeeper yelled into my ear, reporting a robbery at his shop in the centre of Brocklevin, only a block away from my flat. We exchanged words as I quickly dressed. "I'll be there shortly," I assured the anxious storekeeper before hanging up and brisk;y wandering into the night, flashlight in hand. In just two minutes I had arrived. Carefully I stepped into the scene of the crime. The thief had done the crime in a rush, yet left no conspicuous clues to their identity at the crime scene. I kicked the several knocked over cans, searching for any evidence. As I walked about, there was no doubt in my mind that the criminal was forming another sinister scheme, waiting for the perfect opportunity to bounce back into action. Frustrated, I paced around the shards of broken glass. I tried to think like the thief, slinking into the ominous darkness of the ally. After what seemed like an hour of futile searching, I found something valuable. A small salmon-coloured pouch about the size of a wallet. Excited, I opened it with furious enthusiasm. Inside was a hoard of small objects and a single yellow rose.

  • Just think of my example paragraph as an inspiration, and create a unique scenario!
  • Hope this helped!~
