that the world temperature plummeted, drastically, for over a year. the sun turned
red, crops failed, livestock died, rivers flooded with rain, snow covered the fields,
lakes froze in the depths of summer and the birds did not sing. disease took
thousands, starvation many thousands more. these were strange and scary times
indeed, and there was not much for mary and her companions to do except sit
indoors by the fire as the icy rain rapped at the window panes and lightning
streaked through the dark sky. the three were all writers and had decided that the
best way to spend such a dark and dreary summer was to hold a friendly
competition: who could write the best ghost story?
frankenstein; or the modern prometheus, considered the first work of science
fiction, tells the tale of an abominable monster created by a mad scientist who soon
learns he cannot control his creation, and was written by mary shelley that cold, dark
summer. times of uncertainty, great adversity or catastrophe change the way we
look at the world. what once seemed like a bright and certain future becomes dark
and secretive. we do our best to make sense of these anxieties the way we have
always done when the world we thought we knew reveals itself to be unknowable

1. what does the word \abominable\ mean as it is used in

the text? (paragraph 2)
a. pleasant to get along with
b. able to understand
c. revolting to look at
d. easy to talk to

Explanation:

The word "abominable" in the context of the text (where it describes a monster) means something that is very unpleasant or revolting. The story of Frankenstein involves a monster that is grotesque and terrifying. Among the options, "revolting to look at" fits this description as the monster is described as a creation that is not pleasant in appearance (the text implies horror - related imagery with the dark summer and the mad scientist's experiment).

Answer:

C. revolting to look at
