    Correct Answer
    A. To be on time
    Explanation

    • Stuck in your throat

    • To make clear

    • To food around or dawdle

    Correct Answer
    A. To food around or dawdle
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "to food around or dawdle". Lollygag means to waste time or be idle, often by moving slowly or aimlessly. It is used to describe someone who is procrastinating or not being productive. The other options, such as laughing out loud, getting stuck in your throat, or making something clear, do not accurately reflect the meaning of lollygag.

    • To gather or crowd around

    • To conduct

    • Gigantic

    • To fool around, dawdle, or be lazy

    Correct Answer
    A. To gather or crowd around
    Explanation
    The word "congregate" means to gather or crowd around. It implies a group of people coming together in one place. This word does not refer to conducting something, being gigantic, or fooling around. The correct answer is the option that accurately reflects the meaning of "congregate."

  • 5. 

    Bizarre

    • Busy

    • On time

    • Very happy

    • Unusual

    Correct Answer
    A. Unusual
    Explanation
    The word "bizarre" means something that is very strange, odd, or peculiar. It is different from the other options because it implies a level of strangeness or peculiarity that goes beyond just being busy, on time, or very happy. Therefore, "unusual" is the correct answer as it best captures the meaning of "bizarre".

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Clarify

    • Unusual

    • To clean

    • To fool around

    • To make clear

    Correct Answer
    A. To make clear
    Explanation
    The word "clarify" means to make something clear or understandable. It is used when there is a need to provide further explanation or to remove any confusion or ambiguity. In this context, "clarify" is the most appropriate choice as it aligns with the meaning of the other given words. "Unusual" means something out of the ordinary, "to clean" refers to removing dirt or impurities, and "to fool around" means to engage in playful or silly behavior. Only "to make clear" fits the theme of providing clarity and understanding.

    • To go on break

    • To crowd together

    Correct Answer
    A. To go on break
    Explanation
    "Hiatus" refers to a pause or a break in something. In this context, the correct answer "to go on break" aligns with the meaning of hiatus. It suggests that "hiatus" means to take a break or to temporarily stop doing something.

  • 8. 

    Arduous

    • Gigantic

    • To argue

    • To crowd

    • Difficult

    Correct Answer
    A. Difficult
    Explanation
    The word "arduous" means difficult or demanding. It is synonymous with the word "difficult". The other options, such as "gigantic", "to argue", and "to crowd", do not have the same meaning as "arduous". Therefore, "difficult" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Ravenous

    • Frightening

    • Clear

    • Extremely hungry

    • Large black bird

    Correct Answer
    A. Extremely hungry
    Explanation
    The word "ravenous" is defined as being extremely hungry. This fits with the other options given in the question such as "frightening" and "clear" which do not relate to hunger. Additionally, "large black bird" is not a synonym or related to the word "ravenous." Therefore, the correct answer is "extremely hungry."

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Jubilant

    • Difficult to do

    • Extremely hungry
