It was used correctly because it was describing the characters brain tumor. The word is appropriate in this context because it is describing a medical problem on a doctor show. The tone it evokes is fear. When the tumor is described as malignant, it creates panic with the characters.

The word is appropriate in this context because it is just stating a fact about one of the characters in the play. The tone evokes boredom. When someone is described as laconic, you know they are boring.

This word was used correctly because it is just describing the guy saying he is slow to realize why the U.S did that air strike. The word is appropriate in this context because it correctly describes the man but is not a rude way to describe him. The tone evokes uncomfort. Some people agree with how they described him as obtuse, but some disagree so it causes an uncomfortable situation and might cause people to argue.
