You have been given some sentences above. The answerers were trying to be helpful but they have not given you sentences which help with the understanding of the meaning of the word - which is what your teacher wants.
If you just write "He is doleful" that doesn't tell you what the meaning is.
You have 14 words there. It would take a while for someone to come up with 14 appropriate sentences. You should be the one spending the time doing that. It's your homework.
I'll give you one:
The sailors could see the light beam across the water from the lighthouse.

I guess it's not only these words you want to see together with sample sentences. I'd rather you get an electronic encyclopedia. Choose the one with a tool you can use to search for the word you want to see through all the texts they have. Most of them are with this tool. Whenever you find the word, you'll also find a sample sentence. You may find some word with hundreds of sample sentences. And all of them are written by native speakers and mostly scholars. Is it better?
