Question

which sentence uses the italicized vocabulary word correctly?
the instructions were written in iambic pentameter.
the drawing, an authentic work, was found in picassos sketch book.
blake showed his maturation when he snuck a piece of pie from the kitchen.
the poet paid homage to the evil killer by eulogizing him in an epic poem.

Explanation:

1. Iambic pentameter is a poetic rhythm, not used for instructions, so this is incorrect.
2. Authentic means genuine; a work found in Picasso's sketchbook would logically be genuine, so this is correct.
3. Maturation refers to mature growth; sneaking pie is immature, so this is incorrect.
4. Homage is respect for someone admirable; an evil killer does not deserve this, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. The drawing, an authentic work, was found in Picasso's sketch book.
