Question

read the dictionary entry.

pitch /pich/ v

1. to throw with careful aim 2. to fall heavily forward 3. to make a proposal for something 4. to give one’s share of the work

which definition best matches the meaning of pitched in paragraph 6?
a definition 1
b definition 2
c definition 3
d definition 4

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context of "pitched" in paragraph 6 (even though the paragraph isn't provided, we use the dictionary definitions).

• Definition 1: "to throw with careful aim" – if "pitched" in the paragraph relates to throwing (e.g., pitching a ball), this fits.
• Definition 2: "to fall heavily forward" – less likely for a common use of "pitched" unless context is about falling, which is rare.
• Definition 3: "to make a proposal" – "pitched" as in pitching an idea, but the first definition is more common in physical or action - based contexts.
• Definition 4: "to give one’s share of work" – not a typical meaning of "pitched".

Assuming the paragraph uses "pitched" in a sense related to throwing (like pitching a ball, which is a careful throw), Definition 1 is the best match.

Answer:

A. Definition 1
