Question

which sentence best demonstrates the meaning of the word implore?
choose one option
a “i usually love animals, but i don’t like the way that lizard is staring at me,” janine said warily.
b “well, since someone has to take charge of this project, i guess it’s going to be me,” sighed benton.
c “why does sarah always have to act like she’s better than everyone else? it’s so annoying.”
d “dad, please don’t wear that plaid sweat suit out in public,” begged amanda.

Explanation:

To determine the sentence that best demonstrates "implore" (which means to beg or plead), we analyze each option:

• Option A: Shows wariness about a lizard, not begging.
• Option B: Shows resignation to take charge, not begging.
• Option C: Is a complaint about Sarah, not begging.
• Option D: Amanda is begging her dad not to wear a sweat suit, which matches "implore" (beg/plead).

Answer:

D. "Dad, please don't wear that plaid sweat suit out in public," begged Amanda.
