Answer 2

What Does Vehement Mean

Answer 3

Adam was vehement: "The two lines are drawn obliquely to each other! I am certain of it!" He stood his ground, but when I examined the lines, I could see clearly that they were at right angles to each other. If extended, they would intersect at a point off the page. I suspected that spacial relationships was not his forte, but I didn't want to correct him in front of everyone after I had chewed him out for doing so to me earlier. That level of hypocrisy was not something I wanted to achieve.
