Question: Based on this dictionary definition which sentence correctly uses the word agony?

<em>Options: </em>

  • A) After the agony month of waiting for her college entrance test results, Jenna received news that she passed with high scores.
  • B) It was agony for Donna to be stuck at home battling the flu while all of her friends went to see her favorite band in concert.
  • C) Damon jumped up to catch the ball, and as he felt the thud of it in his clove, the crowd cheered in agony.
  • D) Matt desperately wanted to win the contest, so when the announcer called his name, he jumped up with agony.

Answer: The correct answer is option: <u>B) It was agony for Donna to be stuck at home battling the flu while all of her friends went to see her favorite band in concert.</u>

Explanation: Agony is defined as an extreme mental or physical pain or it can also be an intense <em>struggle. </em>

In sentence A, it mentions ''After the agony month...'', but this is grammatically incorrect. It would have to say ''After the agonizing month...'' because ''agonizing'' is used when a situation or event is creating this feeling.

In sentence C, it mentions ''...the crowd cheered in agony.'' A cheer is considered a shout of joy so it can't be done with agony.

In sentence D, it mentions that Matt won the contest and when he found out that he had won, he jumped. This means that he was happy, so it can't be done with agony.

In sentence B, it mentions that Donna is battling the flu, in other words, she is struggling to get better and she is stuck at home while her friends are at her favorite band concert. We can say that Donna was indeed in agony.

ESSAY 1:Lady Macbeth, described as a fiend-like queen, is responsible for the deaths ofcountless people. She meets a fitting end
Alexus [3.1K]

Lady Macbeth is extremely ambitious and her desire to be queen is more intense and even irrational. Her ambition leads her to commit terrible acts, which lead to her rise, but it is the same ambition that leads her to fall.

Unlike her husband, she is courageous, focused and incisive, even going away from Christianity, when she asks the spirits to remove any feminine instinct to care and serve from her, as that would take away her proactivity, her intolerance and her ability to go over anyone to achieve the goals you want.

Lady Macbeth is responsible for the murder of King Duncan and for the fall of the kingdom at the hands of her husband. She is also responsible for the desperation and lack of control that Macbeth demonstrates, since it was only because of her that he came to power.

As previously said, it is Lady Macbeth's ambition that leads her to ruin, when frightened by the events and with a strong emotional weight caused by her past actions, she finds herself in an unbearable psychological agony to the point of making her take her own life and walk towards eternal punishment, establishing a great ending for a great villain.

What connection does the author draw between physiological and psychological reaction to a life threatening incident in Thai cav
andreev551 [17]

The Story:

When 12 young footballers and their coach entered the Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Thailand, it was supposed to be a fun outing after football practice. But when a torrent of flood water rushed in after heavy rain, the group became trapped on a small rock shelf deep inside the cave’s vast network of tunnels.

It was nine days before two British divers, John Volanthen and Richard Stanton, located the group – mercifully alive and apparently in good physical and mental health.

Question:

What connection does the author draw between physiological and psychological reaction to a life threatening incident in Thai cave boys:the psychology of surviving underground

Answer:

The Author, Sarita Robinson,  concludes that the boys and their coach managed to stay both physically and psychologically healthy during the nine long days they spent waiting in the dark and that this is an important factor  which explained their surviving the ordeal underground. The fact that they were a social circle might have contributed to their survival. One person in such an ordeal might not have made it out alive.

She stated that it is not uncommon for one to give up mentally and even die regardless of the opportunities for survival.

This is referred to as Psychogenic Death.

She is of the opinion that they should be closely watched after the ordeal, and if after a period of watchful waiting psychologists are still concerned, then psychiatric care can be offered.

Cheers!
