flatly

[Anonymous]

Hi,
Can I say all of these with the basically same meaning?
1. He said [flatly, resolutely, sternly, stoutly, decisively, determinatively, categorically, with determination, once and for all] that he wouldn't sell his farm.
2. He put his foot down and said that he wouldn't sell his farm.
Thanks in advance.
Have a good day.
