Question

Identify the poor word choice and replace it with a word of your own. The sadistic dog chased us all the way home

Answer 1

Answer:

The savage dog chased us all the way home.

Explanation:

The adjective sadistic has to do with taking pleasure from causing pain, suffering or humiliation on others. Since it is not suitable to describe a dog as sadistic, the adjective can be replaced by other terms like savage, cruel and barbarous. In that respect, a savage dog refers to a fierce, violent and uncontrolled animal.

Answer 2

I️ believe the word ‘sadistic’ would be the poor word choice in this sentence.

Some words I’d suggest would be, “Spirited, sprightly, frisky, combative, quarrelsome,”

Hope this helps and good luck :)
