Ben tossed the baseball through the window.
Select the answer choice that would best replace the underlined word to show that Ben had a lot of force in his throw.
Because we want to edit the sentence to show that Ben had a lot of force in his throw when he threw the baseball, "hurled" is the best answer choice.
Like the word "toss", "hurl" means to throw, but it means to throw with great force.

Sarah is so thin, she could not lift the book.
Select the answer choice that would best replace the underlined word to describe Sarah.
Because we want to show that Sarah is so thin she can't lift a book, "scrawny" is the best answer choice.
"Slender", "scrawny", and "little" both mean to be thin, but "scrawny" means to be very boney with no muscles. Muscles are what give people the strength to lift something.
