Question

Which of the following is an example of using a specific, vivid verb?


He looked at me from across the room.


He peered at me from the other side of the room.


He sat on the other side of the room.


He was across the room.

Answer 1

Answer: Choice #2 (He peered at me from the other side of the room.)

Explanation:

The four verbs are looked, peered, sat, and was for sentences 1-4 respectively.

Out of those four verbs, sat and was are extremely basic, common, and uninteresting verbs.

Peered is a more powerful synonym to looked, thus making it the vivid verb.

Hope this helps! Have a great day!
