Which phrase from the passage offers the best clue to the meaning of the word commending?
I begged my little brother to clean his filthy half of the room we shared.
He did nothing. I yelled that I didn't want to live in a pigsty. This, too,
had no effect. So I tried another tactic: commending him instead,
loudly and extravagantly, each time he picked something up, like I was
training a dog. "Harrison, thank you so much for picking up your
socks!" I said. "This room looks amazing!"
A. His filthy half of the room we shared
B. I didn't want to live in a pigsty
