1. What is another word for halt?

Explanation

“Halt” means to come to a complete stop, which aligns directly with the meaning of “stop.” Both words describe the action of ceasing movement or bringing an activity to an end. Alternatives like “go” or “continue” express movement rather than cessation, while “pause” suggests a temporary stop. “Stop” provides the most accurate and complete synonym based on usage and context.

2. What food item is commonly made from dough?

Explanation

Bread is the only option made from dough, which is typically created by mixing flour, water, and yeast. Cheese, watermelon, and chocolate do not originate from a dough mixture. Bread is also a globally recognized staple food, supporting its relevance as the correct answer. Its production process directly connects with dough preparation, making bread the clear and logically supported choice.

3. What can the word “bill” refer to?

Explanation

Among the meanings listed, “a payment request” is the most universally recognized meaning of “bill.” Although the word has other meanings, such as a bird’s beak or a man’s name, the primary and most widely understood usage refers to an amount owed for goods or services. Therefore, in a vocabulary-focused quiz, the payment-related definition is the most appropriate and contextually correct choice.

Submit
4. What is the contraction of “can not”?

Explanation

“Can’t” is the only correct contraction formed by combining “can” and “not.” In contractions, an apostrophe replaces omitted letters, and in this case, it replaces the “no” in “not.” Forms like “cant” lack the apostrophe, while “cannot” is not a contraction. “Unable” is a synonym but not a contraction. So “can’t” is grammatically precise and widely accepted as the correct contracted form.

5. What does it mean to do something carefully?

Explanation

Doing something “with care” is the most accurate definition of performing a task carefully. Carefulness implies attention to detail, avoiding mistakes, and being mindful of the process. The other options reflect opposite meanings, such as laziness, speed, or lack of attention. “With care” highlights precision and thoughtfulness, aligning best with what it means to act carefully in everyday language contexts.

Submit
6. What is another word for capable?

Explanation

“Able” is synonymous with “capable,” meaning having the skill, strength, or means to perform an action. “Willing” reflects desire, not capability. “Enable” means to make something possible, not to describe a person’s ability. “Incapable” is the opposite of capable. “Able” matches both the meaning and usage of “capable,” making it the strongest and most accurate synonym in this context.

Submit
7. What is another term for a town?

Explanation

Community is the closest alternative to “town” because it captures a group of people living together in a defined area. While a city is larger and a hamlet smaller, community broadly reflects the shared environment and social structure similar to a town. Suburb refers to a residential area near a city. “Community” best aligns with the conceptual meaning of a town.

Submit
8. Which word means “to look quickly”?

Explanation

“Glance” means to look quickly or briefly, making it the correct answer. The action involves directing one’s eyes toward something for only a moment without deep focus. Other options represent unrelated actions: “hold” implies grasping, “drag” implies pulling, and “shut” implies closing. “Glance” is the only term that directly reflects a quick look based on contextual meaning.

Submit
9. What is another word for “begin”?

Explanation

“Start” correctly matches the meaning of “begin,” as both words refer to initiating an action or process. “Stop” is the opposite of begin, while “delay” suggests postponing rather than initiating. “Finish” means to end something. “Start” aligns precisely with the idea of commencement, making it the most accurate synonym and the one used interchangeably in everyday contexts and formal writing.

Submit
10. What does the word “dull” mean?

Explanation

“Dull” means not sharp, often referring to tools, blades, or objects that have lost their cutting edge. It can also mean boring, but in vocabulary quizzes the physical meaning is more common. The other options, such as “excited,” “bright,” and “fresh,” reflect energetic or positive qualities, not the lack of sharpness. Therefore, “not sharp” is the most accurate and widely accepted definition in this context.
