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.

Paladinen [302]

The excerpts are quite different and can be classified into persuasive, narrative and expository.

"Fossils are ancient plants or animals that have been "pressed" into rocks or tree sap. This process takes a long time, sometimes thousands of years. Fossils can be found in dry, rocky deserts. They can also be found in tropical rain forests that are covered in thick mist. Some types of fossilized plants and animals are extinct."  It´s expository because this paragraph gives you a detailed information about fossils.

"However, there are people who care! You can be one of them. Join with them and help preserve the beauty of our world. Enjoy a new and creative program that allows you to experience a working vacation in the Grampians National Park of Australia. The new Improve Nature program offers you the unique opportunity to work with a park ranger and participate in local environmental projects. " It´s persuasive because this paragraph tries to get you impressed by the park and persuades you to visit it.

"During lunch, I pulled out a map of the state fair, and shared it with my friends. "I vote for visiting the animal barn next, "Kelly said. "I've got a friend who is showing chickens this year. "Dave rolled his eyes. "You can check out the chickens. I’m going to the X-treme Quad roller coaster over in the amusement park. "We all had different ideas of what we wanted to do, so we decided to go our separate ways and then meet back at the food hall before the concert. " It´s narrative because it is about the narration of a story.
