Abomination - a thing that causes disgust or hatred.

Horror - an intense feeling of fear, shock, or disgust.

Basically, explain what small differences would be made if everyone who meant something was an abomination called it horror instead.

For example, let's say you pulled a really mean prank on someone that hurt them really bad. They could say, "You're an abomination!" But if they said, "You're a horror!" That wouldn't make much sense. That's an example of how the nuance of the sentence was lost, because of the change in words.

If it has to be 100 words, you can use my example or your own and further explain how using the word "horror" just wouldn't make as much sense or fit the situation better than the word "abomination." Good luck!
