Answer from: alaina3792

Answer:

Childish sulkiness or bad-temper: petulancePractical, ordinary: mundaneTo emphasize: accentuated

The first excerpt tells us that the white edging of the dress "accentuated" the woman's tan. This means that her tan became more obvious due to the edging, or that it was "emphasized."

In the second excerpt, we learn that the woman is "uttering petulance" because she is in a sad mood. What the author means is that she was sulking and uttering words that matched this mood.

Finally, in the last excerpt we learn that the man is worried his feelings sound "mundane." Mundane is another way to refer to something ordinary.

more likely to elicit laughs and rude remarks rather than screams and rooting interest.

variety

while it's not a terribly original entry in the "creepy doll" horror subgenre, this fright flick nonetheless offers interesting characters, a strong cast, expert pacing, and a spooky atmosphere.
