CBSE Class 7 Answered
Give one synonym of the underlined words in the
paragraph.
Buck had accepted the rope with
quiet dignity. To be sure, it was an unwonted performance: but
he had learned to trust in men he knew, and to give them credit
for a wisdom that outreached his own. But when the ends of the rope
were placed in the stranger's hands, he growled menacingly. He had merely intimated
his displeasure, in his pride believing that to intimate was to command. But
to his surprise the rope tightened around his neck, shutting off his
breath. In quick rage he sprang at the man, who met him halfway, grappled
him close by the throat, and with a deft twist threw him over on his back.
Then the rope tightened mercilessly, while Buck struggled in a fury, his
tongue lolling out of his mouth and his great chest panting futilely.
Never in all his life had he been so vilely treated, and never in all his
life had he been so angry. But his strength ebbed, his eyes glazed,
and he knew nothing when the train was flagged and the two men threw him into
the baggage car.
