Dubious

English

Sever21 [200]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Kathy was <em><u>ecstatic</u></em> as she told me that she had <em><u>encounter(e)d</u></em> the "perfect man", as she called him. She insisted he didn't have a single defect. But I was <em><u>dubious</u></em> right from the start. Contrary to Kathy's view, my own opinion is that "perfection" is a(n) <em><u>fallacy</u></em>  - I've never met anyone who was perfect. I must admit that because of my own bad luck in dating I am <em><u>liable</u></em> to be more of a <em><u>pessimist</u></em> than most on this subject. I dated one guy who was so <u><em>miserly</em></u> that when we went to the movies, we had to stay in the theater after the film had ended so he could supplement his income - by searching under the seats for dropped coins. Another was addicted to sausages. He ate sausages for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. His strange eating habits alienated me and our relationship quickly <em><u>evolv(e)d</u></em> from bad to "wurst". Then there were all those fellows who couldn't quite tell the truth. They disclosed so many <em><u>fictitious</u></em> details about their lives that they should have been novelists. To cite a few examples, they told me they were in college (they weren't), they had jobs (they didn't), and they had gotten perfect scores in their SATs (they hadn't). So you can see why I'm apprehensive about encouraging Kathy, who is so <em><u>gullible</u></em> that she believes everything anyone says. I can't wait to meet Mr. Perfect. He's probably a liar or a lunatic. And I'm not sure which is worse.

Explanation:

In the given passage, the words that will correctly be used in the blanks are as follows-

1. Ecstatic which means happy, excited, or feeling wonderful.

2. Encountered which means coming across, meeting, or seeing.

3. Dubious which means uncertain, doubtful, suspicious, etc.

4. Fallacy which suggests something that is logically incorrect or doubtful, invalid.

5. Liable meaning more inclined, prone to lean to one particular thinking or opinion.

6. Pessimist is someone who is always negative, always thinks of the worst instead of hoping for something good.

7. Miserly is one who is stingy, reluctant to spend even on necessary things.

8. Evolved means to develop, to grow or progress, or to change.

9. Fictitious is something that is not true, real.

10. Gullible which means easy to influence, easily.

Can you imagine what it would be like if there were no speed limits on roads or highways?
tatiyna
In some areas of poverty, (including parts of southern Texas) there are no speed limits, rather an indication that you may not go above a certain speed if your car lets off more pollution. Some countries have placed speed limits to limit the consumption of fuel and pollution from any one car. But as I have stated, it's not directly because of the speed, but rather the rate of pollution given off when in that state. :)

Read the following selection from the final paragraph of the story.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Hello there,

the answer is C.) It makes the tone begin to turn more optimistic.

Explanation:

We can mark out A.) and D.) because the word "blooming" does not add suspense and mystery to the tone, nor does it sharpen the tone to teach a lesson. We are left with B.) and C.) We can cross out B.) because it simply doesn't not make sense and we are left with C.) I hope this helped you out!~ (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭❤~

Select the linking verb and the predicate noun or predicate adjective.
kow [346]
Ok, so “is” is the linking verb and I’m pretty sure the predicate is... effective? I’m not sure tbh! But I really do think it is that. I’m sorry if it is incorrect. My apologies.
