    • Paramount

    • Succumb

    • Incorrigible

    • Brazen

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The analogy is comparing two pairs of words. The relationship between the first pair is that the first word is synonymous with "first rate."

  • 4. 

    Which word does not belong in this group of four: accomplice conspirator prattle associate

    • Accomplice

    • Conspirator

    • Prattle

    • Associate

    Correct Answer
    A. Prattle
    Explanation
    The words "accomplice," "conspirator," and "associate" all relate to being involved in some form of collaboration or partnership, often with a negative or secretive connotation. However, "prattle" stands out as it means to talk in a foolish or meaningless way, which is unrelated to the theme of collaboration or partnership.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Is the underlined word (just in case, it's the one in all caps) used correctly in the sentence: I told him to REBUT out of my business. So nosy!

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    The word "rebut" is not used correctly in the sentence. The word "rebut" means to argue against or counter an argument or statement, which does not make sense in the given sentence. It would be more appropriate to use a different word such as "stay" or "get" instead of "rebut" to convey the intended meaning of asking someone to stay out of one's business.

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    The underlined word "REPRIMAND" is used correctly in the sentence. A reprimand is a strong expression of disapproval or criticism, often given as a punishment for wrongdoing. In this case, the boy received a reprimand from his parents for cutting class to go to the beach, indicating that they strongly disapproved of his actions.
