    • Jaded

    • Gist

    • Ogre

    • Bandy

    Correct Answer
    A. Gist
    Explanation
    The word "gist" means the main or essential part of something. In this context, the speaker is saying that they never understood or grasped the main point or essence of the person's story. The other options - "jaded," "ogre," and "bandy" - do not fit the sentence or make sense in this context.

    • Bandy

    Correct Answer
    A. Ogre
    Explanation
    An ogre is defined as a brute or a large monster, often portrayed as a frightful giant. This term is commonly used to describe a terrifying and intimidating creature. The other options, advocate, efface, and bandy, do not align with the given definition and are unrelated to the concept of a monstrous or giant-like figure.

    Correct Answer
    A. Charisma
    Explanation
    Charisma refers to personal appeal or attraction, often described as a magnetic quality. This term is commonly used to describe individuals who possess a natural charm and ability to attract and influence others. Charismatic individuals often have a certain charm and presence that captivates those around them, making them highly influential and persuasive.

    • Dastardly

    • Efface

    • Gist

    • Jaded

    Correct Answer
    A. Dastardly
    Explanation
    The word "dastardly" means cowardly and treacherous. It implies someone who is not only lacking courage but also acts in a deceitful and dishonorable manner. This word is often used to describe actions or behavior that are considered despicable or villainous.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Antonym of this verb is oppose; contest

    • Advocate

    • Entity

    • Charisma

    • Dastardly

    Correct Answer
    A. Advocate
    Explanation
    The antonym of the verb "oppose" means to support or promote, which aligns with the word "advocate." Therefore, "advocate" is the correct answer as it represents the opposite meaning of "oppose" in this context. The other options, "entity," "charisma," and "dastardly," do not have opposite meanings to "oppose" and are not relevant to the given statement.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Definition: anything having existence, either physical or mystical

    • Bandy

    • Ogre

    • Advocate

    • Entity

    Correct Answer
    A. Entity
    Explanation
    The word "entity" fits the definition provided as it refers to something that exists, whether it is physical or mystical. It encompasses a wide range of things, including objects, beings, concepts, or even supernatural beings. Therefore, "entity" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Definition: worn out; dulled, as from overindulgence

    • Ogre

    • Bandy

    • Gist

    • Jaded

    Correct Answer
    A. Jaded
    Explanation
    Jaded is the correct answer because it means worn out or dulled, especially from overindulgence. This fits with the definition given, as someone who is jaded is likely to be tired or bored due to excessive indulgence in something. The other options, ogre, bandy, and gist, do not have the same meaning or connotation as jaded in relation to being worn out or dulled.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Synonym of this verb is erase

    • Bandy

    • Charisma

    • Efface

    • Ogre

    Correct Answer
    A. Efface
    Explanation
    Efface is a synonym of the verb "erase." It means to remove or make something disappear, particularly by rubbing or wiping it away. In the context of the question, efface is the correct answer because it is the only word listed that has a similar meaning to erase. Bandy, charisma, and ogre do not have any connection to the concept of erasing or removing something.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Definition: to exchange words; to discuss casually

    • Entity

    • Bandy

    • Gist

    • Efface

    Correct Answer
    A. Bandy
    Explanation
    Bandy means to exchange words or discuss casually. The other options do not match the given definition. Entity refers to something that exists as a distinct and independent unit. Gist means the main point or essence of something. Efface means to erase or make oneself inconspicuous. Therefore, bandy is the correct answer as it is the only option that fits the given definition.
