Explanation:
To identify which sentences use definition 3 of the word "baste," we first need to clarify the multiple definitions of "baste." Here are common definitions:
1. To pour juices or melted fat over meat during cooking to keep it moist.
2. To sew with long, loose stitches in order to temporarily hold fabric together.
3. To attack verbally; to scold or criticize harshly.
Given definition 3: "to attack verbally; to scold or criticize harshly," we can analyze sentences to see which ones match this usage.
