Can you help me write a brief story with these vocabulary words?

Question

Write a brief story (well-developed paragraph: 5-7 sentences) in which you use all of this week’s vocabulary words properly. It must be clear from your paragraph that you understand each word’s meaning (elaborate, provide context)

Words

1. Accede

2. Dirge

3. Hapless

4. Ostensible

5. Umbrage

Answer 1

1. Accede

2. Dirge

3. Hapless

4. Ostensible

5. Umbrage

Maybe write something about the current health crisis. Here's a little to get you started.

By now it should be obvious what a hapless situation we're in as a result of the virus outbreak. To help stop this spread, we need to accede to public safety demands and continue the economic shutdown and stop social movement...

"Dirge" is a sad song or lament

"Ostensible" is the assumed or state meaning of something

"Umbrage" is to protest or take issue with something

Hope this helps. Let me know if you'd like further tutoring.

Answer 2

Hi Cari,

The key to writing a paragraph with all of these words is finding a common idea that underlies all of these words. Of course, you would have to know the definition of each word. Then use your imagination to create a paragraph using each word. I could help you. Most teachers like imaginative minds that are able to thread ideas together. You can do this by just putting yourself into this.

Thanks,

Good Luck!
