This week, our classes only had one choice available for the word of the week: promontory. A promontory is a point of high land that juts out into a large body of water. Our sentences that demonstrate our understanding of the meaning of promontory are:
1. Juan dove off the promontory into the ocean, just for kicks.
2. The earthquake caused a dangerous landslide; boulders fell from the promontory into the ocean.
3. During the rainy season the promontory is very unsafe because landslides are likely.
