My answer would be tractable as that is the same as yielding. It means controllable. That being said, the person described in the snippet, seems to be quite the opposite of that description. The woman are discussing her behavior and how her husband is unable to control her. Maybe they are suggesting that he find someone who is the antithesis of his wife.

Words that modify or limit verbs adjectives and other adverbs are
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

These are referred to as <u>adverbs.</u> Adverbs are words that modify a sentence, and often end with a prefix of <em>ly-</em>. For example, "I walk to the park slowly". That sentence has an adverb, <em>slowly</em>, which modifies the sentence so we know that the writer is slowly walking to the park. Now, without that adverb, we would not know that the writer is slowly walking to the park, we would just know they are walking to the park. That is how adverbs modify sentences.

Explain how u can use surrounding words to figure out the meaning of exhilarating
Bond [772]
You can look at the words in front and behind it, because they refer to this big word. You may find a synonym of the word or a close reference. So for example in this sentence: I was excited and ambitious to learn about cars today. So this is a easy example. You can use exited to define ambitious if you dont know what ambitious means.
