    Definition: A brute; a large monster; a frightful giant

    • Advocate

    • Efface

    • Ogre

    • Bandy

    Correct Answer
    A. Ogre
    Explanation
    An ogre is defined as a brute, a large monster, or a frightful giant. This means that an ogre is a terrifying and monstrous creature. The other options, advocate, efface, and bandy, do not fit this definition and are unrelated to the concept of a brute or giant. Therefore, the correct answer is ogre.

    • Jaded

    • Gist

    • Ogre

    • Bandy

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

    Definition: Personal appeal or attraction; magnetism

    • Advocate

    • Efface

    Explanation
    Charisma refers to a personal appeal or attraction that someone possesses, often described as a magnetic quality. It is the ability to attract and influence others through charm, confidence, and charisma. This term is commonly used to describe individuals who have a compelling and captivating presence, which enables them to inspire and persuade others.

    • Dastardly

    • Efface

    • Gist

    • Jaded

    Correct Answer
    A. Dastardly
    Explanation
    The word "dastardly" means cowardly and treacherous. It implies that someone is acting in a despicable and dishonorable manner, showing a lack of courage and integrity. This word is often used to describe actions or behavior that is morally reprehensible or morally wrong. It is likely that the other options do not have the same negative connotations or do not capture the same sense of betrayal and cowardice as "dastardly".

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Definition: worn out; dulled, as from overindulgence

    • Ogre

    • Bandy

    • Gist

    • Jaded

    Correct Answer
    A. Jaded
    Explanation
    Jaded means being worn out or dulled, usually as a result of overindulgence. This could refer to physical exhaustion or a lack of interest or enthusiasm due to excessive exposure or experience. In the given list of words, "jaded" is the only one that fits this definition. "Ogre" refers to a mythical creature, "bandy" means to exchange words or arguments, and "gist" means the main point or essence of something.

    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 can be used to describe any form of existence, from concrete objects to abstract concepts. "Bandy," "ogre," and "advocate" do not necessarily encompass the concept of existence and therefore do not fit the definition.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    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. Therefore, efface is the correct answer because it is a word that has a similar meaning to "erase." The other options, bandy, charisma, and ogre, do not have the same meaning as "erase" and are unrelated to the given statement.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Antonym of this verb is oppose; contest

    • Advocate

    • Entity

    • Charisma

    • Dastardly

    Correct Answer
    A. Advocate
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "advocate." The antonym of the verb "oppose" means to be in favor of or support something, which aligns with the meaning of "advocate." "Contest" can also be an antonym of "oppose," but it does not match the given options. Therefore, "advocate" is the most appropriate antonym in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Definition: to exchange words; to discuss casually

    • Entity

    • Bandy

    • Gist

    Correct Answer
    A. Bandy
    Explanation
    Bandy means to exchange words or discuss casually. It is often used to describe a conversation or discussion where ideas or opinions are shared back and forth between individuals. This word can also imply a casual or informal nature of the conversation.
