Using Exact Verbs - 37 (3.2)

Good writers try not to use a general verb when they can choose an exact verb to describe an action. Read these examples: Wildflowers appeared on the rugged cliffs. Wildflowers bloomed on the rugged cliffs.---------The rough waves threw the seals against the rocks. The rough waves dashed the seals against the rocks. Replace the general verb with a better, more exact verb. I will need to grade this quiz. The computer will not do it.
