Question

read the dictionary entry.
harrow (n): farm implement; (v): to inflict great stress on
which sentence uses the verb harrow correctly as defined in the dictionary entry?

the man harrowed his garden, planted the seeds, and waited for rain.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Analyze the definition of the verb "harrow": to inflict great stress on.
  2. Check each option:
  • Option 1: "harrowing" is an adjective, not the verb form, and it describes the drive as stressful, but we need the verb "harrow" (action of inflicting stress).
  • Option 2: The dog's action of harassing (inflicting stress on) the cat matches the verb definition of "harrow".
  • Option 3: "harrow" is used as a noun (farm implement), not the verb.
  • Option 4: "harrowed" here is used in the context of working the garden (like the noun's use), not inflicting stress.

Answer:

The dog harrowed the poor cat until it finally hissed and fled the room.
