Q: Answer-In the following question, a word has been used in sentences in THREE different ways. Choose the opt...

Sentence I is correct-Shabby refers to something in poor condition or dilapidated, which fits the description of a shabby red brick building. Sentence II is incorrect-Shabby cannot be used to describe a thing that is heavy or supplies. The word typically describes things, conditions, or appearances, not weight or quantity. Sentence III is incorrect-Shabby refers to physical or visual wear or neglect, not something that can be sensed in a persons voice. A better word here might be tone or quality.

I Twelve dollars later I was let off at a shabby red brick building in a section of town where no tour busses stop. I
I The few supplies she had would barely last the night, especially since the shabby was unusually heavy. II
I She responded instinctively to the shabby in his voice.
