Answer

Brief Explanations:

The task is to rewrite sentences with stronger, more active verbs. "I was crossing" is changed to "I crossed" for a more direct action - verb form. "slowly approached the curb" is a stronger way to describe the buses' movement compared to a more passive - sounding original. "I was embarrassed" is replaced with "My face flushed bright red" which is a more vivid and active way to show embarrassment. For "there was nowhere to go", "the crowd blocked my escape" is a more dynamic and detailed description.

Answer:

  1. I crossed the blacktop toward the school as the buses slowly approached the curb.
  2. My face flushed bright red and I looked around for somewhere to hide, but the crowd blocked my escape.
