Question
In each of the following questions, a word has been used
in sentences in THREE different ways. Choose the option corresponding to the sentences in which the usage of the word is CORRECT or APPROPRIATE. PANG I) For a moment a pang of homesickness engulfed her. II) Dean was anxious to not hear about the Hutchins clan but in politeness let the conversation pang a while before he interrupted. III) To her amazement, that idea spawned an unwelcome pang of rivalry.Solution
I) "A pang of homesickness" correctly uses pang to describe a sharp, sudden feeling of emotion. II) "Pang" cannot refer to the duration of a conversation, so it doesn't fit in sentence (ii) III) "A pang of rivalry" correctly uses pang to describe a sudden, sharp feeling of rivalry. So, the correct sentences are I & III.
