Question

Choose the word with the strongest connation to replace the word poor in paragraph 4.

a) unfortunate
b) disappointing
c) miserable
d) substandard

Answer 1

(C) Miserable

Step-by-step explanation:

Speech is not innocent and words are sometimes, consciously or unconsciously, charged with an interpretation different from what is said. In this miserable case it could be taken in a derogatory way or simply as a person who is having a bad time and being very sad feels miserable. Although surely, there could have some other interpretation of the word.
