Spot and define the strange item in each sentence, all heard today on CNN:
"He witnessed a graphic sexual act betwen Sandusky and a ten-year-old boy."
"It's mainly the chronic veterans that are homeless."
"He's a congenital amputee, born without arms or legs."
"He saw an explicit and horrible act."
("A graphic act" was used at least twice, many hours apart, by
different speakers.)
