Read the excerpt from "a century ride." "i’m choking with thirst," said maude. "get me a drink of water, and i’ll tell you," and the doctor bounced in for a dipper, and out to the pump for the required beverage. to update this excerpt to a more modern style, what slang would most likely replace "choking with thirst"? dying of thirst getting up a thirst athirst somethin’ fierce cottonmouthed with thirst

The correct answer is that the correct way to update this excerpt into a modern style is replacing ¨chicking with thirst¨ is by saying  ¨dying of thirst¨. The slang dying is used more than by the actual term of death but by people being more dramatic to express their feelings.
