Question

Which of these is the most "ominous"?




a distant, but serious, storm


the sun rising over a new day


a bird flapping its wings


a person singing in the shower

Answer 1

a distant, but serious, storm
— since ominous gives an impression of something bad or unpleasant is going to happen.

Answer 2

i would say that the first one is correct. ominous gives an eerie feeling, almost as if something bad is going to happen. a distant and serious storm give this feeling.
