The impatient and intolerant mother made every effort to _______.
The impatient and intolerant mother made every effort to _______.
✅ Correct Option: 1
The blank needs a verb meaning to control others in an overbearing, authoritative manner.Option 1 -> domineer -> means to rule over others in an arrogant, overbearing way; fits perfectly with "impatient and intolerant."Option 2 -> dominate -> grammatically incorrect; "dominate" doesn't take "the" before "child's lives" in this context.Option 3 -> denominate -> means to give a name to something; completely unrelated to controlling behavior.Option 4 -> dominion -> is a noun meaning territory or control, not a verb; grammatically incorrect.
When someone domineers over others, they exercise control in a bossy, overbearing manner that leaves little room for independence. Think of a helicopter parent who micromanages every aspect of their child's life - that's domineering behavior in action.
