- The first sentence: "The dog harrowed the poor cat until it finally hissed and fled the room." Here, the dog's action stresses the cat, matching the verb definition.
- The second sentence uses "harrowing" (an adjective, not the verb form as required).
- The third sentence uses "harrow" as a noun (the farm implement), not the verb.
- The fourth sentence uses "harrowed" to mean tilling soil, which does not match the given verb definition of inflicting stress.
