About This Quiz

How Big is Your Vocabulary?
Language is complex, so is semantics.
Knowing the definitions of more words and their proper meanings allows you too communicate better, but using too many words others don't understand can cause communication to break down. Match your wits against a list of increasingly difficult words to see where you come out!

semantics (noun. )
1. The study or science of meaning in language
2. The study of relationships between signs and symbols and what they represent [Semasiology]
3. The meaning or the interpretation of a word, sentence, or other language form

    Correct Answer
    A. With out doubt, with certainty
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "without doubt, with certainty." The word "indubious" is not a commonly used word, but it can be broken down into two parts: "in" meaning "not" and "dubious" meaning "doubtful or uncertain." Therefore, "indubious" means "not doubtful" or "without doubt." This aligns with the given answer choice "without doubt, with certainty."
