Use a reference source if you need help determining the part of speech for each word. (1 point) Responses defiance defiance defiant defiant defiantly defiantly defy

Answer 1

The best word to complete the sentence is "defiant." The sentence would read: "Annika tried to get her little brother to bed, but he was defiant."

Here's a brief explanation of the options:

• "defiance" (noun) - the act of resisting or opposing.
• "defiant" (adjective) - showing resistance or disobedience.
• "defiantly" (adverb) - in a manner that shows resistance or disobedience.
• "defy" (verb) - to openly resist or refuse to obey.

Since the blank in the sentence requires an adjective to describe "little brother," "defiant" is the correct choice.
