Which words are closest to the meaning of the underlined word as it is used in the paragraph? Use the thesaurus to find the correct words. I saw a movie where the knight showed his devotion to a princess by giving her a rose every day for a whole year. But I think she got sick of roses. I believe that is why she ended up marrying a different knight. devotion, n. enthusiasm, commitment, zeal, dedication, affection, love. Choose all answers that are correct. A. enthusiasm B. affection C. love D. zeal
devotion is the underlined.
the answer is c
I thought that as well, but it's a choose (all) question
hear this : i saw a movie where a knight showed his love for a princess...
oh i see choose all answers that are correct it is c and a
Could it be B too?
it could but does it make sense if :the knight his affection for the princess...
maybe
B and C. Devotion means love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or cause. Zeal and enthusiasm do not specify that it is about a person. Zeal means great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective. (not a person)
i meant does it make sense in the sentence: the knight showed his affection for the princess...
Although, affection doesn't fit the definition perfect.... So I am unsure. It fits but not as well as love.
Thank you, I chose those answers in the first place but wasn't sure @sarah2453
your welcome
You're very welcome. I looked up the synonyms to affection and love and devotion were there so I think that B and C are correct.
Lol, I did the same.
good luck
Thanks
