Match each bolded word in this excerpt from Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Contest" with a word that is closest in meaning. In the ye
nlexa [21]
I found the three words and the choices from another source and these are:

<span>BOLDED WORDS:
singular
approbation
mercenary

CHOICES:
strange
beautiful
shouting
praise
faithful
flattering
punishment

1. Singular - singular, as used in the context, simply means that the design is something remarkable and extraordinary. Since there is no exact word relating to that, we just have to find the closest word with almost the same context. The closest word that we can find among the choices is beautiful.

2. Approbation - approbation is a noun that means approval and acceptance. It denotes all kinds of positive agreement to what the term is referring to. By examining the list of words available, we can find that praise has the nearest meaning to this definition thus this will be the answer.

3. Mercenary - mercenary, by its very definition, is a soldier hired into service for a foreign army. In the context of the passage, however, mercenary is used as a term to denote the faithfulness of the admirers. Like an actual mercenary, the admirers in the passage are loyal. Therefore, the answer for this item is faithful.</span>

As an outgoing prefect , write a speech to be delivered at your speech and prize giving day showing the success you recorded dur
babymother [125]

Formal Speech is a type of speech which is used in formal, 'serious' problems such as the workplace or a dinner party.

<h3>Write a speech to be delivered and prize giving day showing the success ?</h3>

Respected all,

A very good sunrise to all of you. First of all I would like to thank our Principal madam for giving us this chance to organize this event. I would also like to thank our teachers and staff for constantly supporting us and inspiring us.

Today I am going to speak a few words on the topic that is a huge concern to our community. I stay in the suburb of Park Street, where two small firms manufacture goods. The management of the firms dump the waste and other hazardous fabrics near our place. It is a matter of concern and I am afraid that it shows to a number of disease that our locality has witnessed in recent times in the young children of the society.

The authorities are also silent about the matter. The local of our residence has presented this issue to the authorities but everything is in vain.

The dump yard is much dirty and lots of stray dogs and others birds come to that place and is circulating germs and disease to all over the places. So I along with some of my friends have decided to handle this issue to the Mayor our city and would plead to take some tough action against them for polluting our beautiful locality and circulating disease.

With this I finish my speech and thank you all once again.
