Question

Construct a paragraph about a conflict or disagreement using the following words: pristine, protrude, provision, discord, distinction, cede.

Answer 1

Hi, Rania!

Before you try to construct a paragraph, you should make sure you know the definitions of these words.

pristine means pure, not polluted, clean and fresh

protrude means to stick out past the surface of something or to just stick out

provision means to have supplies or the amount of supplies

discord means to disagree or a disagreement

distinction means a difference between things or people or it can mean the excellence that sets one thing or person apart from others

cede means to give up power or territory to another

Now that we know what the words mean, we can talk about something that could cause a disagreement.

A lake in the forest might be pristine, with excellent water for drinking. If a company built a factory close to the lake, a pipe from the factory could protrude into the lake. Although the company provisions the local people with things they want, there is discord over the pollution going into the lake. The townspeople using the lake for swimming and other activities may see or smell a distinction in the water close to the pipe and at the other end of the lake. Enough people protest this change that the company finally cedes the land back to the town and moves somewhere else.

This is only one example of a paragraph that could be written with these words. The important thing is to find out what the words mean before you try to use them.

I hope this helps!

Best, Karen
