Antediluvian is an adjective and has two meanings:
1) of or belonging to the time before the Biblical flood
2) Ridiculously old fashioned or greatly out of date (sometimes used in a humorous sense)
Here, I'll use it in a sentence:
I often feel my mother wears clothes that are so antediluvian, she never has to worry about blending in with the crowds.
<span>As soon as the latest iPhone came out, the older models became antediluvian to tech experts.

Answer:
He will be more sympathetic to those who are similar to the way he once was.
Explanation:
From the book, "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes, Charlie Gordon was once mentally ret*rded but he became more intelligent after he underwent surgery.
He has an experience in the diner one day after a mentally ret*rded boy mistakenly crashes some plates and receives cruel taunts from the other customers and the boy who does not know he is being taunted and insulted, smiles with them and this episode makes Charlie so angry that he shouts to the insensitive crowd that the boy is a human and thus deserves respect.
This experience would likely change Charlie because He will be more sympathetic to those who are similar to the way he once was.
Answer:
Catherine Roerva Pelzer is the antagonist of A Child Called “It”. For years, she abuses her son, Dave Pelzer, for reasons that are never made clear: she hits him, burns his arm, forces him to eat feces and vomit, and starves him for days at a time. While Dave suggests that Mother is a heavy drinker and may suffer from depression, he doesn’t offer any theories about why she singles him out for abuse, or what motivates her to continue abusing him year after year. Sometimes, her cruel behavior seems sloppy and half-accidental—for example, when she drunkenly stabs Dave. But on other occasions, the memoir shows that Mother’s cruelty is premeditated and cunningly designed to make Dave suffer as greatly as possible. Even more bafflingly, Mother sometimes treats Dave with love and tenderness and then returns to abusing him—again, readers never understand why. The result is that, even by the end of the memoir, Mother embodies evil, which can be neither explained nor understood. She’s a force of pure malevolence, which Dave must escape at all costs.
