2. As she finally entered the hallowed graveyard, Dyana was overwhelmed, and her emaciated body fell prostrate before her father's gravestone.
3. After being called on his misogeny by the female students, the prolix professor then droned on in a contrite manner until everyone regretted the whole affair.

ennui/prolix: I don't think we should tell Rich about the ennui his students felt after his prolix lecture.
prostrate: He was so tired and wanted so badly to lie down that he halfway thought he might be suffering from prostrate cancer.
emaciated/dotard: What a dotard he was, emaciated both physically and mentally!
misogyny: The phrase "male chauvinist pig" does not begin to describe Pat's misogyny.
connubial/cynosure: Rich and Debi's connubial bliss served as a cynosure to their children.
viand: A viand here and a viand there and a banqueting we shall go!
ostracize: Most older brothers would ostracize their younger brothers if only their parents would let them.
