Answers: Part A: D. Part B:C
I managed to find the complete exercise on the Internet, given that you haven't provided us with all options given to you. 1. cogitating = contemplatingTo cogitate means to think about something (cogito in Latin literally means 'to think). Contemplating means to mull over a couple (or a lot) of options which is what Mr. Gamefield is doing in the excerpt above - he is thinking of ways to pay his rent.
2. cudgeling = beatingA cudgel is a short stick which you can use as a weapon. So if you cudgel something or someone, it means that you are beating them with a cudgel, because it is a thick stick, almost like a bat. So this person was metaphorically cudgeling his brain, but literally cudgeling his donkey.
3. regaled = rewardedThe verb to regale has two meanings - it can either mean 'to entertain someone,' or it can mean 'to supply someone with something.' Here, the latter meaning is used - the donkey thought he would be given a cabbage-stalk or two for his hard work
Answer:
What even is loyalty? The book definition of loyalty is "
the quality of being loyal." What is loyal? Loyal is "giving or showing firm and constant support or allegiance to a person or institution." Loyalty is definitely one of the strongest traits someone needs to have. How can you leave your wallet around an unloyal person? How could you marry an unloyal person? Being loyal is definitely something that sticks around in jobs, friendships, family, siblings, and relationships. Promising your loyalty does nothing, it's all about actions and how you will prove your loyalty. In jobs, being loyal to your coworkers and not spreading lies, stealing, and just creating conflict is a definite necessity. Sleeping at night knowing your significant other isn't doing anything bad behind your back is also a form a loyalty. Its about the trust you put into a person or thing, and how they prove it to you. Have you ever broken your promise of loyalty?
