@TheWaffleBRO I am looking it up right now. :)
And what is the underlined word?
thanks but i have moe questions
misfortune
Okay don't get my wrong but this is from my understanding I would have to go with A. mis·for·tune ˌmisˈfôrCH(ə)n/ noun noun: misfortune bad luck. "the project was dogged by misfortune" an unfortunate condition or event. plural noun: misfortunes "never laugh at other people's misfortunes" synonyms: problem, difficulty, setback, trouble, adversity, stroke of bad luck, reversal (of fortune), misadventure, mishap, blow, failure, accident, disaster, catastrophe; sorrow, misery, woe, trial, tribulation, tragedy "the loss of their home in the flood was only the first of several misfortunes"
I got this from Google. Just try searching it on Google. Google will always help.
be my fan
I would go with Suffer. It always conveys a negative intonation, and follows well with misfortune.
