-My room is full of baubles, I collect little knick knacks.
-My sister is notorious for beguiling to get her way.
The flowers in my grandma's garden burgeoned.
-The scarf was the perfect complement to the rest of my outfit.
-You are so contumacious, you can never admit when you're wrong.
-Nobody wants to be around a curmudgeon who is always grumpy.
