Question 40

There are four sentences A, B, C, D where the underlined word is used either correctly or incorrectly. Choose the option which lists all the sentences where the underlined word is used correctly in a sentence.
A. Cassie drew her brows down to feign a stern expression.
B. Her heartbeat was feign and slow.
C. I wish you wouldn't feign illness on every first day of school.
D. My cousin would always feign excitement when we came to visit, but I knew she really didn't like sharing her room.

Solution

The word "feign" means to pretend or fake something.

  • A: Correctly uses "feign" to mean pretending to have a stern expression.

  • B: Incorrect because "feign" should be "faint" (weak or barely perceptible), not feign.

  • C: Correctly uses "feign" to mean pretending to be ill.

  • D: Correctly uses "feign" to mean pretending to be excited.

So, the correct sentences are A, C, and D.
