Key Word Transformation

This document provides examples of key word transformations where a keyword in a sentence is replaced to change the meaning. The 15 sentences each have a keyword that is replaced to demonstrate different parts of speech or meanings of words. For example, the keyword "surprise" is replaced with "not the least bit" and "popular" is replaced with "aren't". This aims to show how subtle changes to a keyword can significantly alter the meaning of a sentence.
