Question
The actor ignored the boos of his audience, continuing his speech until those watching from the pit began to _________ and pelt him with tomatoes.assailcommiserateinquirelather
Solution
The correct answer is "assail". In this context, "assail" means to attack or criticize someone strongly. The actor continued his speech despite the audience's boos, until those in the pit began to "assail" him, or attack him, by pelting him with tomatoes. The other options do not fit in this context. "Commiserate" means to express sympathy or pity, "inquire" means to ask for information, and "lather" means to cover with soap. None of these actions would result in the actor being pelted with tomatoes.
