Question

3 the teacher shut down the side conversation with a ______ glance that made it clear she had no patience for disrespect. a contemptuous b insidious c occult d defiant

Explanation:

• "Contemptuous" means showing scorn or disdain, which matches the context of a teacher shutting down disrespect with an impatient, disapproving glance.
• "Insidious" refers to something harmful that develops gradually, which does not fit the description of a glance.
• "Occult" relates to supernatural or hidden practices, irrelevant here.
• "Defiant" means resisting authority, which would describe the students, not the teacher's glance.

Answer:

A. contemptuous
