Write a paragraph using the following words

Question

Wantonly

Scooted

Dash

Inroad

Hastily

Restrain

Reconciled

Answer 1

Without restrain, the cheetah lives to dash across the grassy knoll in search of its prey. The urgency of its contemplative inroad is done with tremendous grace and agility. Any attempts of chipmunks passerby to wantonly or hastily escape their fate is thwarted by the might of their predetermined predators. The chipmunk in question failed to recognize its role in the food chain, as it was attacked mercilessly while it scooted into nearby trees. The previous six hours of failed hunting for the cheetah have been reconciled; it can feed its family for one more night.

(admittedly, I have no knowledge if cheetahs eat chipmunks, but I tried my best!)

Answer 2

Hi Shreya,

Before diving into writing the paragraph, let's define what these words actually mean!

1. Wantonly - ADVERB, which means to do something deliberately without caring about the consequences. 

(Example Sentence: The boy wantonly threw away his homework to prove a point.)

1. Scooted - VERB, which means to 1. Go quickly or 2. Slide while sitting.

(Example Sentence: The girl scooted in her seat during the lesson.)

1. Dash - VERB, which means 1. To go somewhere quickly.

(Example Sentence: The woman dashed to the office when she was late for work.)

1. Inroad - NOUN, which means 1. Progress, or 2. A raid.

(Example Sentence: The ants made inroads into Matt’s house.)

1. Hastily - ADVERB; means quickly.

(Example Sentence: He hastily did his homework that was due that day.)

1. Restrain - VERB; means 1. To prevent or stop, 2. To control, or 3. To bind.

(Example Sentence: Sally felt restrained by the demands of her school.)



1. Reconciled - VERB, 1. which means to restore friendly relations between or harmonize.

(Example Sentence: A counselor finally reconciled the conflict between Jane and Jill.)

Now to help write the paragraph. One strategy you can use is finding out how many nouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives you have. Organizing this way may help you plan and write your paragraph better. This step will help you see what you can use in your toolbox. Let’s take a look at what you have!

Nouns: Inroad (1).

Verbs: Scooted, Dash, Restrain, Reconcile (4).

Adverbs: Wantonly, Hastily (2).

Writing a paragraph with these words can lead to infinite possibilities, but here is an example:

   Sally felt that Jill had launched an INROAD against her when Jill ate the entire box of cookies. Sally accused Jill of DASHING to the cookie jar after class because Jill didn’t want to share with Sally. Sally told Jill that she saw her SCOOT out the door quickly before Sally could RESTRAIN her. Jill accused Sally that Sally was HASTILY making assumptions and wrong. Jill felt that Sally was WANTONLY making accusations and didn’t appreciate it. The girls needed to RECONCILE if they ever hoped to be friends again.
