Question

read the dictionary entry
gibe (v.) to make taunting, heckling, or jeering remarks
in which sentence is the word gibe used as defined in the dictionary entry?
the critics gibe with envy at all those who worked so hard on the project.
we were taught that a gibe can cause someone to be deeply hurt.
my granddaughter’s gibe did not create an atmosphere that encourages discussion.

Explanation:

Response

To solve this, we analyze the dictionary definition of "gibe" (to make taunting, heckling, or jeering remarks) and check each sentence:

  1. First sentence: "The coach gibe with envy to all those who worked as hard on the project" – "gibe with envy" doesn’t fit taunting/heckling (envy is different from jeering).
  2. Second sentence: "We were taught that a gibe can cause someone to be deeply hurt" – This defines "gibe" (explains its effect), not use it as per the action definition.
  3. Third sentence: "My teammates’ gibe did not create an atmosphere that encourages teamwork" – "teammates’ gibe" (their taunting/jeering remarks) matches the definition of "gibe" as an action of making jeering remarks.

Answer:

My teammates’ gibe did not create an atmosphere that encourages teamwork
