  • 2. 

    N. goodness; moral and ethical excellence

    • Virtue

    • Vindictive

    • Void

    • Awe

    Correct Answer
    A. Virtue
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Virtue." Virtue refers to moral and ethical excellence, indicating a person's goodness. It is the quality of having high moral standards and behaving in a morally upright and ethical manner. The other options, "Vindictive," "Void," and "Awe," do not relate to the concept of moral and ethical excellence.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    N. conceit; selfishness; vanity

    • Abhor

    • Void

    • Egotism

    • Virtue

    Correct Answer
    A. Egotism
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Egotism." Egotism refers to excessive self-importance or self-centeredness. It is characterized by a lack of consideration for others and an inflated sense of one's own abilities or achievements. This aligns with the given definition of "conceit, selfishness, vanity." "Abhor" means to hate or detest, "void" refers to emptiness or absence, and "virtue" refers to moral excellence or goodness, which do not match the given definition.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    N. feeling of wonder, reverence, or fear

    • Awe

    • Volatile

    • Arrogance

    • Abhor

    Correct Answer
    A. Awe
    Explanation
    The word "awe" accurately describes the feeling of wonder, reverence, or fear. It signifies a sense of admiration or respect towards something or someone that is beyond ordinary. "Volatile" refers to something that is unstable or unpredictable, "arrogance" refers to an exaggerated sense of self-importance, and "abhor" means to hate or detest. None of these words capture the specific meaning of "awe" as described in the question.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Adj. having to do with expecting the worse; gloomy

    • Vindictive

    • Visceral

    • Pessimistic

    • Aversion

    Correct Answer
    A. Pessimistic
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Pessimistic". This is because the given definition of the word "pessimistic" aligns with the provided explanation - having to do with expecting the worst and being gloomy. "Vindictive" means having or showing a strong desire for revenge, which does not relate to the given definition. "Visceral" refers to relating to deep inward feelings rather than intellectual response, which is not related to the given definition either. "Aversion" means a strong dislike or disinclination, which also does not align with the given definition.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    N. haughtiness; pride mixed with contempt

    • Arrogance

    • Visceral

    • Solitude

    • Mercurial

    Correct Answer
    A. Arrogance
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "Arrogance". This is because the definition provided, "haughtiness; pride mixed with contempt", perfectly aligns with the meaning of arrogance. Arrogance refers to a sense of superiority and self-importance, often accompanied by a disdainful attitude towards others. It implies an excessive pride that can lead to a disregard for the feelings or opinions of others. Therefore, arrogance is the most appropriate term to describe the given definition.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    V. to loathe; to hate

    • Antagonism

    • Agitation

    • Mercurial

    • Abhor

    Correct Answer
    A. Abhor
    Explanation
    The word "abhor" means to loathe or hate. This definition aligns with the given explanation "to loathe; to hate." The other options, "antagonism," "agitation," and "mercurial," do not convey the same meaning as "abhor." Therefore, "abhor" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    N. an excessive inclination to believe

    • Credulity

    • Detest

    • Awe

    • Solitude

    Correct Answer
    A. Credulity
    Explanation
    Credulity refers to an excessive inclination to believe something without questioning or doubting its validity. It implies a tendency to be gullible or easily fooled. The other options, Detest, Awe, and Solitude, do not relate to the concept of excessive belief or trust. Therefore, Credulity is the correct answer.

    Explanation
    The word "vindicative" is an adjective that describes someone who is spiteful, vengeful, or bears a grudge. This means that the person tends to hold onto negative feelings and seeks revenge or retribution against others.

    • Void

    • Mercurial

    • Vindictive

    Correct Answer

    N. strong dislike or distaste

    • Trepidation

    • Aversion

    • Vindictive

    • Agitation

    Correct Answer
    A. Aversion
    Explanation
    The word "aversion" means a strong dislike or distaste. This aligns with the given definition of "n. strong dislike or distaste". "Trepidation" means fear or anxiety, "vindictive" means having a strong desire for revenge, and "agitation" means a state of anxiety or nervous excitement. None of these words convey the same meaning as "aversion", making it the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

    • Exasperation

    • Trepidation

    • Egotism

    A. Trepidation
    Explanation
    The word "trepidation" accurately describes the feeling of fear or agitation, as well as nervous dread. It conveys a sense of unease or anxiety, which aligns with the given definition. "Exasperation" refers to frustration or annoyance, "visceral" pertains to deep emotional or instinctive feelings, and "egotism" refers to excessive self-centeredness. Therefore, "trepidation" is the most suitable choice for the given definition.

    • Visceral

    • Pessimistic

    Correct Answer
    A. Visceral
    Explanation
    Visceral is the correct answer because it means instinctive or emotional, which matches the given definition. The other options do not fit the definition.

    Rate this question:

    Adj. changing rapidly from one mood to another

    • Exasperation

    • Pessimistic

    • Trepidation

    • Volatile

    Correct Answer
    A. Volatile
    Explanation
    Volatile is the correct answer because it means changing rapidly from one mood to another. This word accurately describes the behavior of someone who experiences frequent and sudden shifts in their mood. Exasperation, pessimistic, and trepidation do not have the same meaning and do not convey the idea of rapid mood changes.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    N. a disturbed, upset, or troubled state of mind

    • Mercurial

    • Arrogance

    • Awe

    • Agitation

    Correct Answer
    A. Agitation
    Explanation
    Agitation is the correct answer because it aligns with the given definition of "a disturbed, upset, or troubled state of mind." The other options, Mercurial, Arrogance, and Awe, do not accurately describe this state of mind. Mercurial refers to being unpredictable or changeable, Arrogance refers to having an exaggerated sense of self-importance, and Awe refers to a feeling of reverence or admiration. Only Agitation captures the meaning of a disturbed or troubled mental state.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    N. active opposition or hostility

    • Aversion

    • Agitation

    • Ecstasy

    • Antagonism

    Correct Answer
    A. Antagonism
    Explanation
    Antagonism refers to active opposition or hostility. It is the most suitable word that accurately describes the given definition. Aversion refers to a strong dislike or distaste, agitation refers to a state of anxiety or nervous excitement, and ecstasy refers to an overwhelming feeling of happiness or joy. None of these words convey the meaning of active opposition or hostility as effectively as antagonism does.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    N. extreme irritation or annoyance

    • Detest

    • Volatile

    • Exasperation

    • Antagonism

    Correct Answer
    A. Exasperation
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Exasperation". Exasperation refers to extreme irritation or annoyance. This term accurately describes the feeling of extreme frustration or irritation, which is the closest meaning to the given definition. "Detest" means to intensely dislike or hate, "Volatile" means easily changing or unpredictable, and "Antagonism" means hostility or opposition. These options do not convey the same meaning as extreme irritation or annoyance.
