Answer:

1.  Council members <u>deplored</u> the outbreak of violence in areas close to schools.

2. Several of the old buildings still retained the <u>ornate</u> ceilings and banisters that were typical of the eighteenth century.

3. During economic hardships, most people find <em><u>prodigal</u></em> spenders offensive.

Explanation:

The corresponding and appropriate vocabulary for the bolded words in the given sentences are changed as follows-

1. In replacing "grumbled about" with "deplored", they imply the same attitude but with much more strong opposition. While mere grumbling may suggest complaints and disinterest, 'deplored' gives a sense of strongly disapproving of the plan.

2. The word "stylish" can be replaced by "ornate" as they both imply the same decorative sense of the ceiling. But at the same time, "ornate" gives the sense of a more beautiful, better-decorated piece than the simple word "stylish".

3. The word "big" in describing the spenders is plain and can just describe any shopper who spends a lot. But the use of "prodigal" in describing the spenders gives the sense of unnecessary spending. This word gives more voice to the disapproving tone about such spenders.

Answer:

The poet develops the theme by:

1. comparing overcoming the hardships in life to weathering a storm.

Explanation:

In "He Had His Dream" by Paul Laurence Dunbar, the speaker describes someone who does not let the difficulties of life determine his fate. Such difficulties are compared, in an extended metaphor, to a storm. Even though the stormy winds are strong enough to almost sink the ship, the man remains strong and hopeful. He tells himself the storm will soon pass, and he will be able to reach his destination when it does. The speaker is thus, comparing overcoming the hardships in life to weathering a storm.
