Asked on March 28, 2021 in Word choice.
To seethe means to be filled with emotions, holding them under the surface. Which usually implores anger. As such, “avoid” and “show” are not correct, so we’re down to either “hate” or “fume”.
If’seethe’ is an intransitive verb, it cannot take an object directly. I hate my neighbor’s cat. It is transitive and does not need any
verbs.”’…I hate I hate it.” I hate it anyway.’
To ‘fume’ is an intransitive verb, and it means either to emit noxious gas, or to be filled with strong emotions— again, usually implying anger.
Is ‘fume’ correct?
