Question of the week for October 19th, 2009

First let me commend you on taking the time to do these questions. I hope you will get something out of them. That being said, you should also understand the level of vocabulary you are using. All of these words are a bit difficult. The context that you put them in should be appropriate.

Here is an example of inappropriate context for the words "rhythm," and "abridged:" "The band abridged the rhythm so it was shorter." The sentence makes sense, but it the context should be more.

A better use of context would be: "The complex rhythm of the musical selection was difficult. Because of this, the musicians decided to shorten there performance. To do this they abridged the song so they could focus on one particular section." Notice that the reader now knows that "rhythm" is an element of a musical selection and that "abridged" means to have shortened (past tense use of the word).

With that in mind...Please use these two words in a sentence or sentences. The context of the sentence/s should show that you understand the meaning of the works. Spelling, grammar and punctuation are all part of the grade. The musical term is "MOTIF," and the ACT term is "HAUGHTY." (that's not "hauntingly.") Good luck.
