If Hermiadoesn’t wed Demetrius,Imay, according to the law,put her to death.” Passage 8.6 Errors: 48 • Extra Credit: • Caught Ya! Add an extra check to the Caught Ya! error if you got it right on your own. • Vocabulary: • abide— (v.) to tolerate; stand; to endure, sustain, or withstand without yielding or submitting • dolorous— (adj.) full of, expressing, or causing pain or sorrow; grievous; mournful • audaciously — (adv.) with extremely bold or daring; recklessly brave; fearless • supplicate, -d — (v.)to seek or ask for by humble entreaty; to beseech • wayward — (adj.) turned or turning away from what is right or proper; willful; disobedient • Proper Pronoun:The word “I” (first person, singular personal pronoun) is ALWAYS capitalized. We use this word as a name for ourselves, replacing our proper name. (In some cultures, the word “He” is also a proper pronoun only when used to rename God.) (BYW: You only get one point for this, no matter how many times you circled “I.”)
