    The state of being attached or joined.  

    • Admonish

    • Adhesion

    • Admittance

    Correct Answer
    A. Adhesion
    Explanation
    Adhesion refers to the state of being attached or joined. It is the correct answer because it perfectly matches the given definition. Admonish means to warn or reprimand, which does not relate to being attached or joined. Admittance refers to permission to enter or join, which is similar but not exactly the same as being attached or joined.

    Rate this question:

    Something added, or to be added.  

    • Admonition

    • Aeronautics

    • Addendum

    Correct Answer
    A. Addendum
    Explanation
    An addendum is something that is added or to be added to a document or a piece of information. In this context, "something added, or to be added" perfectly fits the definition of an addendum. Admonition refers to a warning or caution, while aeronautics is the study or practice of travel through the air. Therefore, the correct answer is addendum.

  • 4. 

    To stick fast or together.  

    • Adhere

    • Aerial

    • Adjuration

    Correct Answer
    A. Adhere
    Explanation
    The word "adhere" means to stick fast or together. It is the most suitable option out of the given words that matches the given definition. "Aerial" refers to something related to the air or atmosphere, and "adjuration" means a solemn urging or pleading. Therefore, "adhere" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Attachment.  

    • Adumbrate

    • Adherence

    • Advent

    Correct Answer
    A. Adherence
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "adherence." Adherence refers to the act of sticking to or following something, such as rules, principles, or guidelines. It implies a sense of commitment and obedience. In the context of the given options, adumbrate means to outline or sketch, while advent refers to the arrival or coming of something. Out of the three words, only adherence fits the meaning of sticking to or following something.

    To make inefficient or worthless; muddle.  

    • Advent

    • Addle

    • Advisory

    Correct Answer
    A. Addle
    Explanation
    The word "addle" means to make inefficient or worthless, or to muddle. It is the correct answer because it fits the given definition perfectly. The other options, "advent" and "advisory," do not have the same meaning as "addle" and therefore are not the correct answer.

  • 7. 

    To bring forward or name for consideration.  

    • Adduce

    • Adulterant

    • Adversity

    Correct Answer
    A. Adduce
    Explanation
    The word "adduce" means to bring forward or name for consideration. This means that when you adduce something, you are presenting it as evidence or support for an argument or point of view. The other two options, "adulterant" and "adversity," do not have the same meaning as "adduce" and are therefore not the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Any substance of exceeding hardness or impenetrability.  

    • Adverse

    • Adamant

    • Aerial

    Correct Answer
    A. Adamant
    Explanation
    The word "adamant" refers to a substance that is extremely hard or impenetrable. This aligns with the given definition of "Any substance of exceeding hardness or impenetrability." Therefore, "adamant" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Having fine and penetrating discernment.  

    • Acute

    • Adumbrate

    • Admonish

    Correct Answer
    A. Acute
    Explanation
    The word "acute" means having fine and penetrating discernment. It implies having a keen and sharp intelligence or perception. In this context, "acute" is the correct answer as it aligns with the given definition. "Adumbrate" means to outline or sketch in a vague way, and "admonish" means to warn or scold someone. These words do not convey the same meaning as having fine and penetrating discernment.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Clinging or sticking fast.  

    • Adherent

    The word "adherent" means clinging or sticking fast. This term is used to describe someone or something that is attached or loyal to a particular person, group, or belief. It can also refer to something that sticks or adheres to a surface. Therefore, "adherent" is the correct answer as it directly relates to the given definition.
