When I said you were a pig, I was speaking in a __________________ way.
-
Turbid
-
Domestic
-
Funny
-
Figurative
Correct Answer
A. FigurativeExplanation
The word "figurative" means using words or expressions with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation, often used to create a metaphor or emphasize a point. In this context, when the speaker said "you were a pig," they were not literally calling the person a pig, but rather using the word as a figure of speech to convey a negative or derogatory meaning. Therefore, the speaker was speaking in a figurative way when they made that comment.Rate this question:

The word "figments" is the correct answer because it fits the context of the sentence. The sentence states that the monsters under the bed are one of the many "__________" of a child's imagination. The word "figments" means something that is imagined or invented, which accurately describes the monsters under the bed in this context. The other options, "dominants," "turbines," and "configurations," do not make sense in the given sentence and are not related to a child's imagination.Rate this question:

-
Disfigured
-
Perturbed
-
Figurative
-
Turbid
Correct Answer
A. PerturbedExplanation
A restless person is someone who is unable to stay still or calm, often feeling anxious or unsettled. The word "perturbed" accurately describes this state of restlessness, as it means to be disturbed or agitated. It implies a sense of unease or disquiet, which aligns with the behavior of a restless person. The other options, "disfigured," "figurative," and "turbid," do not convey the same meaning and are unrelated to restlessness.Rate this question:

What is an not an appropriate synonym for effigy?
-
Image
-
Likeness
-
Portrait
-
Imagination
Correct Answer
A. ImaginationExplanation
The word "effigy" refers to a representation or image of a person, typically in the form of a sculpture or statue. The synonyms "image," "likeness," and "portrait" all accurately convey this meaning. However, "imagination" does not align with the definition of effigy, as it refers to the ability to create mental images or concepts that are not necessarily based on reality. Therefore, "imagination" is not an appropriate synonym for effigy.Rate this question:
