Rewrite Nolan's e.mall to his friend Clay. Use an antonym for each underlined word.
Clay,
Are you lucky that your parents are so severe! They are way
gisagreeable folks, That factual story about getting caught on a tree
branch just made me chuckle, Did they really believe that's why you
couldn't get home in time to help with the yard work? It was a very
opaque excuse. Maybe next time they'" be able to repel you to help
with some cool promises or something.
Nolan
