Okay, first the best thing to do it look up the definitions for the words, right? Then try and see which one fits best.
i think this one is A :)
because it means Humiliating and miserable
btw i like you pic of Katniss Everdine
Hmm.. I'm not sure on A. I personally think it is D, however I am not sure. Which ones can you eliminate on here?
Thanks! :)
you can eliminate B because it means Jumping from one thing to another, rambling and i am getting these definitions from my book :D
Okay that's good! So we know it is not B!
you can also eliminate C because it means Capable of returning to the original shape after being bent or stretched
I am honestly stuck, I think It could be A or D. Hold on lemme think about this.
and you can also eliminate D because it means Conspicuous; striking, so that leaves us with A, which is why i thought it was A :)
I think it is D :) Because it means "most noticeable".
If I am wrong, I apologize but I realllly think it's D.
ok,can you help me with more?
