That's very true, but remember that to expurgate is to remove the material considered offensive out of a passage, while burning a book is simply destroying it. Think more about the usage of expurgate.expurgate:passage::burn:bookBoth of the actions are done as a declaration of outrage at their targets, and are closely associated with the declaration of the author as a heretic.

baleful:menace::solicitous:concern. There were several close ones on this, since the word relationship is just an adjective describing the second noun word. But there had the closest correspondence and "felt" right.Make this next one the last for the night, please. I need my sleep and it's 1 AM here and I have to work tomorrow.
