1.The correct
answer here is “pestering”. Importuning actually means to pester or harass
someone repeatedly for a period of time.
We see this here because they are constantly looking for alms which is actually
a charity in the form of food or money.
2.The correct
answer here is "heinous". “Horrid” is an adjective describing something that strikes
fear into the hears of men, causes them to be afraid. Here a synonym and from
the line we can see that the answer is “heinous” which also means something
scary, odious which this fire is.
3.The correct
answer here is "unwieldy". Ponderous means that something is extremely slow and
tedious due to the excess load of the item being transported. Here “unwieldy” means
also that as the television is enormous and hard to transport. So unwieldy is
the synonym here.
