Ответ от учителя
In Exercise 81, there are several letters that contain the words «sense» and «hurt». After reviewing the letters, I found the following sentences:
— «I hope this letter finds you well and that you are making sense of everything that has happened.» (Letter 1)
— «I can’t help but feel hurt by your actions.» (Letter 2)
— «I understand that you were hurt by what I said, but I was just trying to make sense of the situation.» (Letter 3)
The word «sense» in these sentences refers to the ability to understand or comprehend something. In the first sentence, the writer hopes that the recipient is able to understand and make sense of the events that have occurred. In the third sentence, the writer is trying to make sense of a situation, meaning they are trying to understand it.
The word «hurt» in these sentences refers to emotional pain or distress. In the second sentence, the writer is expressing that they feel emotionally hurt by the actions of the recipient. In the third sentence, the writer acknowledges that the recipient was emotionally hurt by something they said.
Overall, the meanings of «sense» and «hurt» in these sentences are related to understanding and emotional pain, respectively.
