Pitifully


The word 'pitifully' in this excerpt is significant because it tells the reader the narrator's feelings towards the girl getting married. Without that word, there would not be the same level of insight or emotion into the narrator's thoughts. the word 'pitiful' has a negative connotation, if you are feeling pity for someone it means you do not think they should be in the situation they are in and wish you could help get them out of it. This tells the reader that the narrator feels the bride is far too young to be getting married and maybe it's something out of her control or that she is being forced into.

Select the most grammatical and natural sentence.
hammer [34]

Answer: Today, the Tomato and Stone Fruit Growing Society held their annual meeting in Queensland, Australia

Explanation:

The most grammatical and natural sentence is "Today, the Tomato and Stone Fruit Growing Society held their annual meeting in Queensland, Australia".

In the first option, writing "the Tomato Growing Stone fruits society" is incorrect.

The third option is also incorrect. The A in annual should not be capitalized. Also, writing the Tomato Growing Stone Fruit Society isn't in its natural sentence.

Therefore, the second option is the correct option.
