Answer 1

Your answers are concise and accurate. Here's a brief refinement for clarity and completeness:1. No, because "entreating" implies that they are earnestly asking or pleading with you, indicating they care deeply rather than being indifferent.2. No, "implore" indicates that he is earnestly asking or begging her to bring home a pepperoni pizza, not forbidding her.3. Yes, because "beguiling" means charming or enchanting, often in a deceptive way. This can enhance a magician's performance by captivating the audience more effectively.
