Question

Which sentence contains an evaluative modifier expressing strong disapproval? Although the story was interesting, the resolution was predictable. I found it difficult to keep track of all the characters and the confusing plot. Some people think his poetry is wonderful, but I find it conceited. The writer found an original way to express an old idea.

Answer 1

Answer: "Some people think his poetry is wonderful, but I find it conceited.

Explanation: Although the whole passage is rather negative, this one sentence contains a very strong word: conceited. Saying that someone is conceited (i.e., too proud of him or herself, arrogant) implies having a personal judgment of that person and assuming they have that personality trait.
