What do you think? If you don't know what the words mean, look them up in a dictionary:

Clearly, B, C, D are not words needing emphasizing. A is the best choice, however, understanding why dismal news is welcomed, is hard for me to grasp. Personally, I shun dismal news.

Three of the sentences use the word correctly, one incorrectly. You said you are to identify the CORRECT usage. You should be able to figure out which ones are correct if you know what the words mean.
