Moping: is a verb that means moving slowly and being sad because of something that happened, in this case is because her first-choice college rejected her.

Commission: is a noun that means a group of people that was chosen for a specific task.

Weak: is a verb, in this case it means that there were not enough evidence or lack of it to prove what he did.

Hostility: is a noun that means being unfriendly towards someone, in the example Sam and Max are not unfriendly to each other when they are out of the court.
