Dear teachers,
Her body was still writhing in pain.
a. panting b. heaving c. bleeding d. stuggling
I think "d" is the best choice to replace the underlined word. Or is "b" possible? The key is "c" which is certainly incorrect. Is that right?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.
Jiang
Well, we were wrong together before, but I'll agree with your assessment again. I think you're right.![]()
Dear Jiang,
"D" (struggling) is the best choice. "To writhe" means to make continual twisting, squirming movements or contortions of the body. Example: he writhed in agony on the ground.
There is an error in your answer key, and "C" is certainly incorrect.
