Answer 2

@Hasan-Koush

Answer 3

The first answer is the correct one because the player was unfair( not honorable) to the other

Answer 4

B would be the correct answer because a and d use it as definition 1 and c uses definition 3

Answer 5

Amscasey... I believe that running before the pitcher even gets the chance to react is un honorable in a game of base ball, and is an illegal move in a game if caught by a fellow player.

Answer 6

however, the term "base" in this sentence does not mean unhonorable.
The player crossed third UNMORAL/UNHONORABLE before the pitcher could even react.
The UNMORAL/UNHONONORABLE nature of the film prevented it from being shown in school.

Which makes more sense?
