The Tall Woman and Her Short Husband
The couple experienced discrimination and ridicule from the people in their community. They believed that the marriage is not brought about by love to one another. They think that the tall woman is a gold digger and married the short husband because he is very rich. The short man, on the other hand, is said to experience difficulty in finding a deserving partner that is why he settled for the tall woman.
Last sentence. Is this question really for high school English?
I just made this up, I'm not sure if it's what you meant, but ....
Thomas had warned me that winter ... he called out to me from the side of the frozen lake. "You're skating on thin ice!" I was too prideful to listen. I had been trying to win a bet. To make a long story short, I ended up six feet below the surface, as dead as a door nail.
Now, three months later, I sadly watch over my friend as he sets his own clothes on fire, with tears streaming down his face. I hear a child's voice some distance away saying, "Mommy says that where there's smoke there's fire!"
'They're too late ... Thomas is already going to be with me ... just a few more seconds,' I thought, smiling sadly. Changing someone's fate is easier said than done. He uttered a strangled cry, then fell to the ground, engulfed in flames.
I'm not sure if there were specific answer choices but using complex words actually makes your statement rather unclear, especially assuming they are words the average person wouldn't know or understand.
