English( The subject, lol) is not for me

[Jmaster]

Alright all of u English majors, im not all too smart in this subject so there r a few things i need help with

This first one, is trying to get the sentence to line up right, but all the options sound like they dont fit...

1. That he was tired was evident. That he was hungry too was apperent when he began to eat.

a) evident that
b) apparent. When
c) Sentence is OK

2. She was disconcerted be her dates odd behavior.

Wat does disconcerted mean?

[BFM_JANE]

1) If those are the options, I'd say the sentence is okay.


2) The definition of disconcert HERE.

1 : to throw into confusion
2 : to disturb the composure of

synonyms: see "embarrass"

[MrMxyzptlk]

Except for the spelling (this IS an English question, right?    ) the sentence is fine.

JANE gave you a link to the definition, and I suggest that you keep a shortcut/favorite handy for future dictionary site use....

[Jmaster]

thank you both

I would have said disconcerted was "made uncomfortable".   So her date's behaviour made her feel uncomfortable or uneasy.

[BFM_Hydra]

To disturb the composure of would mean make uncomfortable would it not?

[BFM_Kiwi]

To say I feel uncomfortable about a person or situation doesn't seem the same to me as losing composure, which to me means appearing calm and relaxed.  Which is closer to the meaning of disconcert, I don't know.  Probably I'm wrong
