Explanation:
To identify which sentences use definition 3 of the word "baste," we first need to clarify the multiple definitions of "baste." Here are common definitions:
1. To pour juices or melted fat over meat during cooking to keep it moist.
2. To sew with long, loose stitches in order to temporarily hold fabric together.
3. To attack verbally; to scold or criticize harshly.
Given definition 3: "to attack verbally; to scold or criticize harshly," we can analyze sentences to see which ones match this usage.
Here are some example sentences:
1. The chef told his assistant to baste the turkey every 30 minutes.
2. She basted the hem of the dress to hold it in place before doing the final stitching.
3. The coach basted the team for their lackluster performance during the game.
4. While sewing the costume, he made sure to baste the pieces together first.
5. After the incident, the manager baste the employees for their negligence.
Sentences 3 and 5 use definition 3 of "baste":
- Sentence 3: "The coach basted the team for their lackluster performance during the game."
- Sentence 5: "After the incident, the manager basted the employees for their negligence."
Both of these sentences use "baste" in the context of verbally attacking or scolding.
