Please help me to do this. This is not a homework. I'm learning English.?

Question

I'm poor in English so I start learning English intensively.

I found a problem in an old book (about 1970s)

"It's an absolute scandal!", "It's a shame!", "It's a disgrace!", "It's not right.", "It's all wrong.", "It's not fair."

Use these expressions to protest about these situations.

1. The windows in the Robinsons' house are always dirty. They never clean them.

2. People are always throwing litter into our front garden. It's very untidy.

3. Old Mr. Stevens is 83. He lives alone. No one ever visits him.

4. Our house is smaller than yours. We pay more rent.

5. The children next door have broken our door bell. Their father refuses to pay a new one.

6. Then Andersons have been on the housing list six months. They've just been offered a Council flat. We've been on the list six years.

Answer 2

It is an exercise in showing the nuances, or subtle differences in these terms, I agree, but it's fairly subjective...
They pretty much all apply, but some are more suitable than others.
I'd say "It's an absolute scandal!" might be over-emphasis for expression 1, but for the others it could be used.

"It's a shame!" is probably more suitable to something like expression 3, suggesting that it is regretful. It could be used for exp 2 as well.
It doesn't really make sense when used with exp 1, 4, 5 or 6.

"It's a disgrace!" could apply for all the expressions.

"It's not right." and "It's all wrong." could be seen to have exactly the same meaning. Essentially, they could be used for all the expressions too...

"It's not fair." has more of a specific meaning. It suggests a personal affront or injustice. You could use it for 2, 4, 5 or 6 and possibly 3. It doesn't really make sense with exp 1 though...

I think the point of this exercise is the subtle differences in usages of words and terms. However, in modern language, many are used more freely and are interchangable.
A more up-to-date guide might help, especially if you're interested in more colloquial English usage!

Hope this may help. Although I am not sure this is 100% correct.

Answer 5

All those expressions mean just about the same thing... It's confusing even to me. I'd suggest buying a more modern book.
